did you work under an AWA Mk1
I did, great thing, though most of us over here have never needed some union hack to stand up for us anyway. I remember when the Pilbara was controlled by the unions, what cluster F#$$. Yes a small minority at a few big mines had it sweat, but if it was still up to them the industry would be half the size.
Best thing we ever did was give them the boot, conditions have improved 10 fold, and that was before the boom, now they are sky rocketing. The old them versus us attitude is a thing of the past, the likes of Sheldon loves it, gives them purpose.
The only real sad bit I see in this is the Pilots and their union, I thought they showed great initative in the way they went about things.
