Oh dear, BNEA320, that does make for depressing and probably true reading. Collier was for many years a unionist, but the corruption, the bullying, and the tactics wore her down, till she quit. The AWU admits 146,000 jobs have been lost in manufacturing since 2007, these are their figures, not mine and easily googled. And yet we fawn over the Holden workers, who have four years to find another job, and go out with pockets tingling. Here in the Hunter, small manufactures close almost weekly, they cannot keep up with the wages, the insurance, the super, and either head off shore, or just give up. We are doing a great job of pricing ourselves out of existence, one way or another.
