the union movement as it was then is a very different animal to what it is now.
and what they are now is corrupt, theiving mongrel standover merchants used by people who couldnt give a stuff about the common man and is only using them for their own greedy self centered megalomania
two pollies in wa fit the bill of self serving - two new alp hopefuls both current union delegates.
the union movement then had some scruples - this is a dirty word in todays movement
