I mean its ok for the worker to go find something better behind the bosses back and then come back to tell him that his leaving as he found the same job paying $10K more.... leaving the boss high and dry to look for a new worker.... but geez if the boss finds someone to do the job for less and then offers you less to keep your job we all cry blue murder....... gotta love those unions ay I also remember the QLD state LABOUR govt saying the we will NOT pay anymore for electricity (this was said in 2005) but look what happened.....my point being... they all lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes LABOUR included Edited 09/05/07 08:54 AM by jetute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blonk Iconoclast Donating Members 4,330 Member For: 20y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: CH Posted 09/05/07 09:29 AM Share Posted 09/05/07 09:29 AM We are in an unprecedented boom period, but then so is the rest of the western world...Any monkey could have steered thier country to prosperity on the back of china and south east asia's economic growth... Our so called leaders are patting themselves on the back for credit that unfortunatley is due to a communist leader..As soon as China slows, we will slow with it... A perfect opportunity though to steal resources from those less fortunate.. And we are accomplice to that theft........I personally would like to see the unions disappear of the planet.. As I only ever get paid based on my performance..Same when I was a subby... Work hard get rewarded, bludge, suffer......Now I will sit out of this one..!!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 9m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/05/07 10:10 AM Share Posted 09/05/07 10:10 AM Yes that is deffitly true. With out labour in power the unions will never have any power(Thanks little Johnny)I hope based on THAT statement, that the labour government NEVER gets back into power.IF it does, mark my words, they will not change much in the area of workplace reforms because it is working.We have recors LOW unemployment, there are not 100,000's of people out of work, there are 10,000's of job waiting for employees.The reason we are shipping in overseas labour is because the available workers either wont do menial jobs like stacking shelves or pumping gas and expect to start in middle management or they are getting paid to surf and are dole bludgers.It is funny that people think JH is a puppet of GWB, but I do not see many similarities than christ as GWB is a complete moron. JH is a strong leader who sometimes has very conservative views, but he does stick to his views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the Defence Force, I vote Liberal, as they look after the Defence Force, no suprise we all vote for the guy who will look after us the most.I will ask, does anyone think we would not have gone into IRAQ if Labour were in Power (reguardless of the motive)?Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
