Unions and the Airport Workers

I just got an email from the Trade Union Council seeking my support to assist the workers at the airport to get a better deal.
It was my understanding that these workers are working under a wage and conditions deal brokered by the unions in the first place that gave them "Less for More".
Why are the unions crying foul when their leaders are doing these sweetheart deals with big business.
Why aren't the airport workers simply covered by a standard award like any other worker.
There is something fishy going on here.
Perhaps this was another of Bill Shortones deals.

Would anyone like to make a bet the union officials negotiating the salaries and conditions for workers are also getting kickbacks from employers.
Example 1 the Coles fiasco.

I'm not sure the reasons behind the conditions
of airport workers - but they are indeed horrific
as shown on the 7.30 Report:

Foxy
The reason the workers are in that position you saw is because their well paid union leaders negotiated the rates they are paid.
Nothing more. nothing less
Bill Shortones mob
Turnbull is bad enough but Shortone is worse

Bought a pie at Sydney Airport, 8 bucks, what a rip off! Looks like the pie people are not going short, along with the sandwich people, coffee people etc etc. And it wasn't even a Sunday, where are you Butch!
