    I know everyone here loves to bag unions, but they are basicly there to make life better for workers. (never been in one my self but im glad for the rights they have fought for even if they have none of my money)
    Let take a look at some of the simple things workers take for granted that unions secured for us:
    Annual Leave
    Maternity leave
    Penalty Rates
    Award Rates
    Superannuation
    Equal Pay for Women
    Sick leave
    Long service leave
    Redundancy pay
    Allowances: shift allowance, uniform allowance
    Meal Breaks, rest breaks
    Unfair Dismissal Protection
    OH&S


    Sure there has been some dodgy behavior from high up as there has been with every single other industry/company in the world, don't condone this in anyway, put em in jail! but Unions are important for workers rights.

    If the right wing elite were not kept in check by unions we would end up with a slave race of workes with no rights no minimum pay and no holidays.
    This is fine if you want a controlled uneducated sweat shop nation that stagnates but it's not the Australia i'm after.
