"This forum is basically a place where everyone can criticise anyone they like, but very very few ever offer any positive action to fix the problems they so readily identify."
how about instead of selling off our business and industry to overseas ownership we offer workers a stake in the business.
how about Qantas agreeing to at least meet with a group of workers who want to buy a part of the company? Instead, the chairman refused to even speak with them.
How about instead of selling off aussie business to china, japan, brits and god knows who else ----------- we keep it in Australia and then have skin in the game?
How about we start thinking longer term instead of short term capital gain profit and then whinging our tits off when our workers who have their only vested interest as an hourly rate.
Just maybe if we sold them a slice of the pie instead of selling it overseas they might just be interested in growing the business.
We don't really need to explore "positive action to fix the problems they so readily identify.""
they are already explored ---------- what we need is shareholders to come to the party ---------- stop selling to the highest bidder and for a small but quick profit -
grow up and think longer term.
Buy stocks and STAY in and grow the business.
Stop gambling and start investing.
Aussies are an amazing bunch -- they shop at a supermarket miles away and then whinge when their kids can't get a local job.
They sell off shares in aussie companies to foreigners and then complain that the companies do the wrong thing and the workers don't care.
Well, there is one way to make them care --------- own the bloody thing and let them own it as well.
