Maui....
My post was more of a rant than a complaint/whinge. I was making a point.
I have made choices to ensure my income/standard of living is maintained when indexed for inflation. I am not on an EBA.
The reason I won't join a Union is because the "majority" will always accept 3% (or so) no matter what I believe in. It's called Democracy.
The Union starts off "demanding" what is reasonable and then the compromises come in and the workers end up working harder for a pay cut.
Why do people on EBA's have to give productivity increases just to keep their incomes up with inflation... or to cop the pay cuts as I rant on and on about!!!!
Good luck with the EBA negotiation
VB Folks. Fight for what you deserve!
