Hey - watch the abuse.
>We have children reading this newsgroup, and

Which makes a mockery of your statement above.
>please confine your vitriol to provate email if you must use it.
You abuse me in the ng, that's where I'll respond.
>>You're the sort of bloke who'd scab on his mates.
>No I'm not - but these bludgers aren't my mates.
I bet they work harder and longer than you do. Your mate's a scab and I
bet you'd be one too.
>>Show us some proof, the media haven't been able to.

Oh yes it bloody well is! That's one of the reasons that unions were
formed.

And most of them aren't doing that.

That's a pretty pathetic description of a union.

Safety is a management issue? I don't think so. Left to management,
there would be even more accidents and deaths.

I'll see if I can find the facts again.
