The gravy train has stopped for the TWU. And not before time!
Dedicated service provider! Are u serious??
They dont even have their own chocks so how dedicated is that.
Not long ago they were the company highlighted that had their employees working split shifts & sleeping in locker room aisle ways.
A casualised work force is just what the fed govt want,look at the security industry & how they find employees.
What about the casualised aged care sector,oh yeh thats right,lets forget about employees rights,you really need a reality check but im sure u are ok jack.
