People who are anti union have no legs to stand on with the current state of enterprise bargaining that Howard brought in
My father both was head of his union section and did not get ripped off via bad negations
He got 6 years of backed up holiday and had to take a huge chunk of it, that's pretty good Esp when it is usually 4 weeks or so as you say and is what BD9 originally said about four weeks not being able to be saved up to take 6 months off
But it isn't illegal it stops ppl.taking the piss
Corporations love Howard and enterprise bargaining as they can pay one or two.ppl a lot and/or fulltime/permanent positions and everyone else shit as opposed to minimum wage etc being reasonable
Which it isn't anymore
Due to above mentioned
Any workers rights in this country - that are worse than they have been for many of this countries history are due to unions fighting
Withiut it none of these things would exist at all
People are less and less getting hired in a full-time position and more and more under contract or casual, no sick or holidays
No rights there and it's all legal but wasn't 15-20 years ago
When I said it is not illegal it isn't as I was referring to being made to take time off if you build too much holidays up
Exactly as I said you can't take the piss and build up holidays and take a year off
My old man got to take 3 months off (of his 6) though so I reckon his union had the workers rights at heart
Sick pay I made a mistake on accumulation, but without unions you'd have no sick pay at all
Love the younger ones (a lot of tradies did) who took up Howard's enterprise bargaining and thought they were good
The labour industry was fucked before unions
A good movie to watch is rock the foundations about the green bans
Saved many lives they did with oh and s
