You really are a nut! I know that I am not prepared to lose pay over
bludgers who were being paid over $70,000 pa on average for less than
35hours a week work. It is exactly the same situation that occurred with the
removal of the second person from the XPT's and the removal of the
brake-van! Efficiencies had to be made, the union screamed foul, it didn't
have to happen, the jobs were essential, etc. Several years of running has
proven the union wrong.
We have already seen in Brisbane that trainee wharfies are moving containers
at a higher rate than the bludgers who have just been sacked. Patrick will
win this one, and Australia will be a better place for it.
