Hello Rod

I am a financial member of the AMWU, reason being, the
Federated Engine Drivers and Firemans Association
(FEDFA) pulled out of the Territory years ago and were
eventually swallowed up.  We joined the AMWU on the
recommendation of FEDFA officials, I have no regrets.
  
Because I was born in a working class family and worked
hard all my life, ....I still am, with 12 hour rotating
shift work, does NOT make me a "traitor" if I point out
the hypocrisy of the "Labor Movement".!

I have no doubt that you are still hard at it, working
rosters and getting very little thanks for it, in fact
your bosses are probably like mine, trying to figure
out, how to replace us.
  
I am not taking the "mickey" out of you and I respect
your right to express your thoughts, but please
understand that there are a lot of us despite our
common background and affiliations, we have differing
views, I will never give up my right, to express them.

And .....there is a WHOLE lot of crap coming from the
Conservatives that I do not like either.

Cheers Mate.
