Stood Down for NOT working on your days off?

I think even the union bashing members of the Coalition used to refer to this as facism didn't they? You know - the USSR, reds under the bed, internment camps in Siberia? (or was it Woomera?).

Perhaps John Howard can come out and declare it as simply "Un-Australian?".

Honestly - WTF is this country coming to?

If THIS is not a reason to take industrial action, QF employees, there will NEVER be one - and you will ALL be royally screwed by the greed merchants.

If you remember how and why unions were organised in Australia in the first it was to counter exactly this type of exploitative and draconian rule. The pendulum has swung well and truly too far back in favour of the greedy few.

If you do not fight now, you will have nothing left worth fighting for.
