I am with you mate,,,I am the same,,the government's don't have the guts to stand up to the unions because of the donations and kickbacks especially the Labor party,,, Albo hasn't got the guts!!
I want to know why when there is a senate sitting that all senators are not there on both sides . Isn’t that what they are elected for and what we pay them a lot of doe .
Back when I was younger I was working in a Non Union Shop. The CFMEU was trying to establish itself to be a powerhouse of a Union. Talking tough about gaining control, that could bring the country to a standstill if they saw fit. That was basically the words from the CFMEU rep that pushed his way into the shop I was working in. Later going from person to person trying to gain the numbers to cause a vote for a Union Shop. The guys I was working with in my area saw what was going on, and we were all basically thinking the same thing. Don't want NO Unions in this shop, we could deal with the Management without the Unions. It seemed like the CFMEU rep had no hope of gaining the numbers. Later getting everyone in a group telling us we have a unanimous number for everyone to be a Member of the CFMEU ??? We were all looking at each other standing in this large circle all thinking the same thing ?? Who was say YES ??? Of course the CFMEU rep was super positive. He went away to get his paperwork to sign everyone up. We all walked away fairly pissed off thinking WTF is going on. Who were all the people voting YES ?? The rep came back getting everyones details and telling us how much we would be charged for something we never wanted. We never saw the CFMEU rep ever again ??? But, for the $ 390 per year ( fees at this time ) we paid per worker times 30 workers we got a voucher each year for $ 50.00 from management to go towards Safety Boots which we were entitled to as a UNION MEMBER ??????????? Later we got ourselves together for a secret ballot. Simply writing YES or NO on a small piece of paper and placing it in a box. 27 votes. 3 Votes for YES ??????????? How true were the numbers ?? Pretty saw they were accurate considering how many people in the shop were angry after the vote. We were of course feed BULLSHIT from the CFMEU rep, what a surprise.
And the private construction industry is the Wild West 😂 We work in the rain, never seen a safety inspector, I have to subcontract because to be employed by a builder is almost unheard of. Iv worked on commercial projects and I prefer the Wild West. Union sites are toxic.
the unions and the public service seem to have the same work ideology, slow down, don't do to much per day, you will show us up, its been like this for over 40 years that I know of..
