Meh.

The Victorian division has around 100 full time staff. An experienced CEO could expect to pull in excess of $200,000 at that kind of levels.

I know of two people in civil engineering who are making those kind of figures as high end machinery operators.

Excavator operators in the mines are pulling $65 per hour as a base rate putting them in the $200,000 plus bracket working just 35 weeks of the year.

Not sure why you are getting so stirred up about it.

The totally useless slug, LINDA REYNOLD, is on a base pay of $364,406 plus a swag of taxpayer funded goodies. The bloke claiming stress leave, Christian Porter is on a base pay of $369,687 plus lurks and perks. Unbelievable, based on that pair of drop kicks, the union guys should be on a skillion dollars a year.

SR,

The mines are well known for their vast pay packages for difficult work in remote places, but the trade union bosses are not based at the mines.

The union bosses' getting up to 20% increases on already large packages when the rest of the country is getting zero to 3% is a little rich.

shonkyminister, I ask again;

shonkyminister, how about giving us a look at those "Disclosure statements filed with the Registered Organisations Commission". Nothing on their website concerning your claim. Where did you get it from?

Not saying so, but did you make it up?

the union guys should be on a skillion dollars a year.
Paul1405,
They should be on what the people whose money they collect are on !

Indy,

I was shocked just as you were to hear, AGED PENSIONERS will be getting a massive increase this month, but not just that! More la grosse in the form of a huge cash bonus which no doubt will be spent by the undeserving old folks on booze, fags and pokies down at gods waiting room! They may even use taxpayer funds to play BINGO!
