otb,

Name calling, and labelling people.
Same old tactics. Why just stop at Marxists -
what about the goose-stepping fascists,
the Emily-Listers, the Fabians, the
Progressives, and lets not forget the
Neanderthals and the Regressives, as well.
Then there's the nutters and crackpots,
and ones with really extreme narrow view-
points. Ye gads you could easily fill up
your 350 word limit just ranting off at all
of them. Wait, you usually do!

Oh, What a Feeling! Now what's that about
Toyota?

This of course does not change the fact that
it is surprising that you would stick up for a
company that emplys foreign workers ahead of
Australians - particularly in the hard-hit Geelong
area. More unions should be taking this action.

It is difficult to see the bigger picture when
you've got such a small screen.

LOL Foxy, it is always so obvious form your sledging when your Googling cannot provide you with some wordy irrelevancy to support your opinion.

I take it that you and yours (and those union heavies too!) will be well off for Xmas, while those workers and sub-contractors are blockaded from working by the CFMEU.

otb,

I am surprised that you continue to stick up for a
company that employs foreign workers ahead of
Australians particularly in the hard hit Geelong area.
CFMEU took the right action to try and ensure jobs for
Australians - and more unions should be taking this
action. If you were genuinely concerned about jobs for
Australians you would support the union action instead
of decrying it. Shame on you.

As for sledging?
Read- your own posts on this forum.
That's all you do.

LOL Foxy, as said earlier, it is always obvious from your sledging when you are on the back foot and your Googling cannot provide you with some wordy irrelevancy to support your opinion.

As you very well know, I am not 'sticking up' for any company. I am criticising the CFMEU for its bloody-mindedness and blockade.

This is the CFMEU in action,

otb,

Your claim that -

All you're doing is criticising CFMEU for its
"bloody-mindedness" et cetera...

As well as your disclaimer to "sledging?"
appears to have reached a plateau of mind-numbing
predictability. Just to point out a few
things from your own posts -

Take the delicately diarrhoid title of your discussion -

"Was it CFMEU elected in Victoria?"

Then you go on telling me in two posts -

"...your Googling cannot provide you with some wordy
irrelevancy to support your opinion..."

And - the usual reference to -

"Marxist and authoritarian leftist posters who would
cut off their noses - make that the noses of ordinary
workers - in spite of themselves..."

And there's more -

"I take it that you and yours (and those unions heavies
too) will be well off for xmas.."

If this is your way of merely criticising CFMEU
then the rest of what you've posted must be
your desperately lame attempt at intimidating wit.

Keep trying.

So far not much success.

I'll wait and see what else you can come up with.

Make it something new just for variety's sake.

LOL Foxy, you really are on the back foot today attacking the messenger. The CFMEU is that important to you, huh?

The union is a damned disgrace putting men and sub-contractors out of work immediately prior to Xmas.

You also disagree with the new Labor Victorian Premier who is saying what I have said all along,

<CFMEU Tests New Victoria Premier

There’s no reason why work can’t resume at an Aldi construction site which has been blockaded by a building union, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says.
..
In his first week as a new Labor premier, Mr Andrews said he saw no good reason why work couldn’t resume at the site.
“I see no reason, given there’s no occupational health and safety issue here, there’s no question of people not being paid appropriate wages, I see no reason why work shouldn’t be back happening at that site as soon as possible,” he told reporters.
..
Former treasurer Michael O’Brien said the CFMEU was seeing how far it could go now Labor was in power.
“The CFMEU has known with a Labor government in office the dogs are off the leash, and they’re flexing their muscle in week one,” he told reporters.
Mr O’Brien said workers were losing money because the CFMEU was defying the law.
