Bank runner I have been in my life an apprentice electrician ,maintainance sparks in a tyre factory ,an operator in an electricity distribution organisation a professional pilot for 25 years ( 12500 hrs)unions were-ETU- AFAP -PNGAPA CFMEU and held positions other than just being a member .Unions are essential . In the work place. Very essential, they need to be strong and honest in their dealings with management Unfortunately the other mob dont always be honest either ,some of the bastardry in the Pilbara by the Union (S) and management. In the late 70 /80 would make you sick. Unions should have no direct place in politics at all ,other than to be heard from the outside of parliament like the rest of us.In this affair I hope the QF staff ,the lot, prevail over what is just another nail in the coffin of Aussie Nationalism if the little creep and his mongrel mates get their way.
