CFMEU thugs out of control, page-24

you do know that the Labor Party is and has always been the union political arm.

it was started by unions 130 years ago when workers had absolutely no rights. exploitation, child labour, cheap as chip pay with no toilet breaks - nothing.

the unions created the prosperity that enabled the economic growth. in partnership with business during the '80s the Labor Party made our health and education systems strong and enabled an economic boom, along with some difficulties opening Aus up to global trade. we became vulnerable to global economics and so had the worst recession since the 29.

without the unions and Labor Party we would not have had those leaps of progress that we all value today.

now I agree the CFMEU are merely thugs. but they represent their workers. but this is a distraction from the senate inquiry report on PWC.
