Captain , always a fan of a broad debate , so nothing personal. Some industries are moving towards total deregulation by necessity far quicker than others. IR is always a nice area for a wee chat. My brother has worked for Coles for 25+ years and he gets arse raped. Called back from holidays works public holidays at the bosses whim because he'e to scared to say no, We'll give you time off instead. I've spent most of my life at war with dirty WWorters and Coles raping the supplier community and ultimately shoppers., How is it stuff made in OZ can be purchased cheaper in NZ supermarkets ? However I digress
