Unions they are what you make them or allow the to be!

The unions did not think this would happen what friggin planet are they on of course this was going to happen all there members should give them the flick they have done bugger all for them.[/QUOTE]

Members lax attitude toward the point and purpose of association and how it is achieved is the result we have today.

The seeds of corruption and incompetance feed on the apethy of the members all waiting for someone else.

Didn't this start back with the loss of the 3 min handwash time, nightshift meals, 17.5% dayshift penalties.

Then we moved on to the I'm right jack factor in 96 loss of dayshift penalties, diff shift lengths for new starters, loss of RDO'S etc, then the LAME US vs THOSE STUCK 97 Jack deal divid and conquer.

Yes these inept union leaders endorsed company yes votes time and again, rather then maintaining equality in the ranks and hence unity and strength.

Where is the forsight (not Forstaff that we were given instead)

Unions are needed to keep the worplace fair and safe, vigilant members keep unions strong and useful.

Howard encourages corrupt, over remunerated, underskilled management at the expense of the creation of a new working poor.

You need a UNION just make it accountable, be informed and clean them up.
