I didn't take long! The CFMEU is up to its old tricks in Victoria.

"CFMEU blockade shuts down Aldi building site"
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/cfmeu-blockade-shuts-down-aldi-building-site/story-fni0fit3-1227146603546

First up, how many pensioners, self-supporting retired and other low income earners will be thanking the CFMEU bosses for delaying their Aldi outlet and possibly threatening the future of other Aldi developments?

It is car manufacturing all over again.

Money to be made from importing Chinese-made bumper stickers declaring, "I DIDN'T vote Labor".

You lot are very jumpy arn't we. There will always be disputes no matter who wins the race, not that there was much oposition.
Abbott could have done wisely not sticking his nose into Victoria, it done Napthine imesurable damage.
His referendum on a tunnel for melbourne when it was a Victorian election. Maybe Abbott thought Melbourne was Victoria.
Victoria's industrial disputes have nothing to do with other states.
It goes to show Victorian's are comfortable with the CMFEU To keep their workers free from international interferance.

Wouldn't worry me i refuse to use Aldi anyway
Stuff is crap service is really bad and they are German owned
Can't see much Point in supporting them

otb,

I am shocked, appalled, and extremely surprised to
say the least - that
you Sir, of all people, who regularly proclaims himself to
be pro - "Australian," on this forum -
would stick up for a company that
employs foreign workers ahead of Australians - particularly
in the hard hit Geelong area. Shame on you and well done
CFMEU! More unions should be taking this sort of action
on behalf of Australian workers. Well done!

Although I suspect your motivation in starting this thread
is more political than anything else.

Nice try!

Beach, exposing your uneven hand once more, resorting to posting a link to Murdoch's gutter press. Please do not feign concern for pensioners and low income earners, people a rabid right winger such as yourself would have little regard for. The CFMEU is a tough union in a tough industry, yes they are not always pretty, and yes they have there warts as well, no denying that. However building workers can be thankful for the job the union has done for them over the years on pay and conditions in what has always been a hard working environment, the building industry, can't deny that.

There you have it, Marxist and authoritarian leftist posters who would cut off their noses - make that the noses of ordinary workers - to spite themselves. No work means no income for the workers and sub-contractors and with Xmas on the horizon. Fat lot they care.

Bloody minded union bosses flexing their muscles immediately the union controlled Labor government assumes power.

Now what was it Rudd and others said about the faceless men (and women!) and the factions that control Labor?

What too about union corruption?
