"The Australian Services Union (ASU) is campaigning against the proposed
privatisation of Freightcorp and wants to meet the Premier, Bob Carr, to
discuss workers entitlements."

Knew it wouldn't be the RTBU, they'll roll over on the workers and do
whatever the government says.


"The ASU has also referred the matter to the Australian Competition and
Consumer Commission (ACCC), saying privatisation will lead to a monopoly of
rail services in the Hunter."

As opposed to the monopoly there now?
