If you are a member of the ALAEA, have you considered making a simple phone call to the office? I'm sure you will be able to speak personally with one of the execs or industrial officers and have any query answered!

SP & his team are one of the most approachable union executives to get information straight from the horses mouth, nothing is a problem. SP has indeed done a sterling job on here. I wish some other union executives took a leaf out of SPs book and communicate to the members via forums similar to this.
As for Bill Shorten, he is false and is in this for himself in my view, he used the union movement to get a leg up in the Labor Party for a shot at being PM one day, nothing more.
He supported the mind boggling (lawyer fest) FWA legislation that is a reworded "Work Choices" the Liberals wanted, and has used it against the very people he once represented, the union movement, plain a simple really..
BS, suitable initials for the man.
