I reckon there is no difference between the right of the union movement and the Torries. This is why people have lost faith in unions.
IMO they're actually worse. Tories don't pretend to be pro worker. Their manifesto is pretty clear and they tend to stick to it. I don't generally agree with it but at least they're usually fairly honest about what their interests are.
Too many of the right wing Labor types publically espouse labor values while privately milking the system for whatever they can get, and the members be damned. Nor are the likes of PH workers; far too many of them have gone straight from uni (or grade 9) into the machine without a days real 'work' in their lives.
Nor are they even very good at the machine stuff, as their recent string of public debacles shows.
They're not even competent faceless men, and their continued incompetence is doing enormous harm to the ALP and the union movement.
