The rail videos are posted because this has been a major area of expansion for LAU, and highly profitable. Read its Annual Reports.
Viewing is optional.
Given 'a picture is worth....', they provide visual evidence that LAU is gradually increasing is presence in interstate transport.
Read back and you'll see quite a few posts about the unexpected collapse of Scott's Refrigerated Transport and how LAU was able to pick up an as yet publicly unquantified amount of assets: extra trucks, railable containers and apparently some real estate or leased warehouse premises.
As previously stated, there don't seem to be videos (apart from an occasional LAU corporate one, accessed through its website) of LAU's trucking fleet performing daily tasks, showing a lineup at a warehouse or the positive results of a new contract. If you find YuuTube examples, please post.
Similarly, it's challenging to locate YouTube videos of satisfied customers exiting LAU rural stores, or LAU's handled produce or other goods being loaded in the belly of an air freighter or passenger aircraft.
As for your union comments, they're largely irrelevant in the private sector, with membership down to eight per cent of the workforce. Employees have decided it's more fulfilling to work with employers rather than have an 'us and them' mentality. Look at the growth in contracting and labour hire through good small companies such as ASH (I hold), plus the gig economy. People choose these jobs!
Employees haven't been "brainwashed": the only example of that is militant unions such as the CFMMEU hugely hindering major construction sites and our vital ports. Constant fines from Federal Court Justices don't stop these ratbag unionists. From the days of WWII when militant unions refused to support Australians, these have been a disgrace.
The growing minority who "work" in the public sector have a huge productivity problem. Many continue to WFH and raid the fridge or do household cleaning instead of working. The nation is increasingly enmeshed in bureaucratic red tape that increases business costs, often for little or no societal benefit.
Australia's prosperity (forgetting Labor's gross mismanagement of the economy, Victoria with its massive debt being the worst example but the Feds starting to repeat similar Marxist mistakes) has largely come from its wonderful mining entrepreneurs such as Lang Hancock and Charles Rasp, along with innovative farmers, graziers, horticulturalists and graingrowers, plus our wonderful legion of male explorers and visionary businessmen in industry, along with previous governments that understood how to encourage entrepreneurship. None of these people were, or are, unionists.
Fortunately, LAU has good management that works with its staff and contractors, not at loggerheads.
