Cowcockie ive just passed 35 years as a meatworker, its got nothing to do with aussies not willing to work in meat inndustry, its about huge multi nationals like jbs swift coming in and pushing pay rates down, i grossed under 50k last year, in 1991 i grossed 43k, and the offer for the new eba this year to its aussie employees is a 2% rise, why do men work underground in the mines? because they are well paid, you reckon your a hard worker? try pushing a knife for 9.5 hours a day through hide 1 cm thick on a moving chain.
