CFMEU deferred their push for a 33% pay increase. A mere 33%. Thank goodness for the world economic crisis, otherwise they would have been holding the respective companies over a barrel for the minor 33% pay rise. How on earth can this be justified? A worker earning close to average wage of $60,000 per annum all of a sudden deserves an extra 20 grand a year. Yep, that's definitely fair.
Yep, love dem unions, obviously they put no pressure on employment!
