This is a historic time in Australian IR we are at a cross roads.
As a lifetime unionist, not as a union official, as a person who truly would fight forever for fairness in the workplace, this threat is wrong.
Yes building industry has taken much of great worth from workers casuals now make half what they did as full time workers, truly they do.
But never pick a fight you can not win.
Not even having sat as a government yet we find threats being made?
How many people think Kevin Rudd will not fight that threat?
Is the threat a self advertisement for that man? or one union?
Australian industrial relations is at a cross roads workchoices is dead forever .
But we will not ever again see a return to mass strikes wildcat strikes and the future of the trade union movement is in negotiations and enterprise agreements increases in productivity bring increases in wages.
My hope is some can understand public announcements like this do more harm than good.
And that the differences in unions be understood not all have portraits of dead communists on tee shirts so often worn.
