Power Industry Labor and Unions

We have never really seen nothing so bad as the corruption within Labor and the Unions and their complete disregard for the people.
Why do the workers pay union fees as it seems that what will the unions do to Labor? This in itself is a joke due to if somebody was working for yourself they would be sacked due to incompetence.
The unions are there to stand up for the workers and not the parties as it is the workers who pay the unions for a service. It is a service the workers are not getting, as if we look at Beaconsfield it was due to union incompetence that the workers were not on strike due to safety problems, which in turn caused a death, and injuries.

The unions in this case were not there until they knew they would get good promotion out of it.
Now we have the power industry, I knew that this was going to be sold off 6 months before the NSW state election, so where was the unions and the main stream media, AWOL.
The unions are just playing a game now and it is the people and workers in the middle of their Claytons battle.
It is a shame that the power can come back to the people but nobody is listening to how this can be done, it is so simple and the people will not be affected to the extent of a full strike even if the unions would do this.
Now those interested should contact me, and that includes you belly but the biggest problem is the unions and labor running to their masters.
We can beat this if the workers got on board.

An informed commentator would know unions are totally opposed to the sale of power stations.
Unions discontent with the NSW sell out has only just begun and in truth only inaction by conservatives can keep Labor in power in NSW.
A commentator who understood the impacts of workchoices would understand it is still law.
And that wild cat strikes would destroy the union movement.
Our commentator knows it was my union involved in Beconsfeild, while it may be a barb aimed at me , I am proud till death of the actions of my unions present head and our past one during that tragic event.
The township too fills me with pride and like most Australians I held my breath and hoped , yes and tried to hold back my wet cheeks.
I have no idea why some call for strike action at the drop of a hat, surely talks come first?
Such strikes as called for here would see unions fined out of existence.
I am aware my union movement has No more than 22% of the population as members.
Our author claiming to be the savior of workers got far less than that in the recent election.
We must confront reality this federal government did not get elected on union votes alone nore radical ones by years end we will see concrete proof unions are against this betrayal.
This tiered warn out state party has had its day how strange its only hope is a worse opposition.

No Belly nothing thrown at you just your concsience coming out.

Now 6 months before state election and still the unions are not doing their job.

The sale will go ahead but can be stopped.

now belly i have the planned action but alas the unions will not really fight the labor party.

This is not about government or elections as you are bringing up but about the lack of representation and disregard forthe workers.

There is no response for not putting the men on strike at beaconsfield as it was an underground safety issue.
that was union incompetence and they still will not do what the men pay then too.

Stand up and fight, this only occurs when the unions see fit.

So belly since nobody listened before that these would be sold off are you willing to listen now or is it the workers dont really matter.

When you work that out then you tell me.

I know that I stand and will fight without being payed as it is about the workers jobs, the people and costs and these governments selling off public assets as they please.

Now those who want to fight for public assets and their jobs email me.
Otherwise just roll over again, cock your leg and take it as always.

Stu I will not waste time with further debate here, sorry but in my view you represent the extremes not the average.
And sadly you give more value to your thoughts than others.
The trade union movement has already begun a fight against this sell of that will mirror workchoices.
The signs are on the street the stickers on our cars and handouts on the lunch room tables.
In truth selling of power is just one symptom the early promise of this NSW leader was just that a promise, it clearly is time for a revival of the other side of politics as unpalatable as that is to me.
If the NSW right of the Liberal party can be forced to take its dead hand from the throat of its Branch's, let them return to party ownership, a turn around of historic numbers will take place.
I fear Stu you still fail to understand you polling was less than 2% not leadership numbers the fact you got the donkey vote may have assisted your count regards but the thread is going no place extremism is out of favor in Australia.

Belly you fail to understand

What has labor and the unions given us

dictatorship

selling off our public assets

No representation for the people

Belly if you want the donkey vote take it i dont want it.
I didnt stand for a party or the money but the people and I won.

Why I stood for what was right not a party dictatorship which you and your other labor and union lackeys stand for.
You knew this would happen with no, and i repeat no representation for the people so this is clearly the fault of labor and the unions.

When will you all stand up and say we stuffed up.

What we get from dictatorship is a load of bull, lies and corruption from all these parties and the unions.

And dont you forget belly that the unions were holding labors hand with the hiding of child sexual abuse and physical assualts.

So tell me who won the election it wasnt the people and you know that.

Where are those labor mps who are there to represent us hiding because that is notthe party way.

The people are just colatoral damage to these predators.
