Hey - watch the language. We have children reading this newsgroup, and
although they have probably seen and heard worse than this, please confine
your vitriol to provate email if you must use it.
>You're the sort of bloke who'd scab on his mates.
No I'm not - but these bludgers aren't my mates.
>Show us some proof, the media haven't been able to.
I'll check with my mate as to whether I can scan in his payslip - I would
need to edit out his personal details, but once it has been editted, you
could say that I have editted the pay details too, so I probably won't
bother.
>The AFULE was doing it's job - trying to protect the jobs of Workers.
It is not the job of the union to protect jobs, it is the job of a union to
protect the rights of the workers that are there. If there is no longer a
job for an employee, it is the job of the union to see that the employee
which goes gets all of the redundancy provisions to which he is entitled.

That is an issue for management, not the union to decide.

I'll concede this one to you tezza - sleep issues becomes a safety matter,
and it is only appropriate that the union involve itself here.

Umm, Ch 10, Ch9, Ch 7, ABC, CNN, BBC World, and Sky News, not to mention
Daily Terrorgraph and Sydney Morning Herald - all stated that containers in
Brisbane were being moved faster with the trainees.
