Sorry I live in a world, where its OK to challenge status quo. If thats foolish, plz dont make me smart.

sorry, i misread your claim. i agree that everyone is pro-union.

Just responding to belongsinforums' remark As an employee, more is better, and is always going to be the case
01/06/2024 - 00:37
should i add poll? its obvious that its the other way round...
31/05/2024 - 22:08
Like some / most people, at the mercy of the employers. The only tool at our disposal is to keep improving ourself and convince them they…
31/05/2024 - 21:18
Well, i will happily accept that. Thats nothing but the truth.
31/05/2024 - 14:55
No offence to others but there feels like a macro vs micro view here. Employees (including myself) will always want more - more is better…

Perhaps just different industry. I definitely have seen first hand how an admin-ish job which used to get paid $60k was offered $130k+ 2yrs…

Apologies - maybe I am really out of touch, but in this case based on what is in the media (i know whats coming next), there is nothing…
31/05/2024 - 13:52
frankly, that one i have to strongly disagree there are people who are overcompensated, and some undercompensated. but i think everyone…

I am a simple person. None of what you quoted above has the word union in it. I am just saying, if someone dont like the conditions, then…
31/05/2024 - 13:43
Sorry I get you disagree with my view But I don't quite get the logic - the purpose of my post is to ask if people agree with strike I…
31/05/2024 - 13:39
not sure if i ever implied union is bad in my post. i just asked if people think going on strike is OK seems like people think it is and so…
30/05/2024 - 20:29
just to be clear - the post was never about how useful or useless union is. i was just saying it feels wrong to be going on a strike,…
30/05/2024 - 20:27
fair point. cheers
30/05/2024 - 20:26
if there is an equivalent job offering you a better pay, then why not take it? the fact that no one is offering a higher pay means either…
30/05/2024 - 20:25
thats a good point. cheers
30/05/2024 - 20:22
point taken - my view is 100% based on what i read from the news which could be biased. but i have, for most part of my career, been given…
30/05/2024 - 00:30
Nope - I always preferred the bus anyway and with flex working these days, I'm pretty sure people affected will just work from home. Per…
30/05/2024 - 00:25
to clarify, i am not against union. i am just not sure about strikes.
29/05/2024 - 20:08
don't think unions will ever approve automation. wasnt there a documentary on this? (not rail but another sector)
29/05/2024 - 19:48
Aplogies for my ignorance, but are we suggesting that the these rail workers get paid the same rate regardless of all the above…
29/05/2024 - 14:01
Yep 100%...
29/05/2024 - 01:19
it was the reverse in the past, where (at least where i worked ~10yrs ago) working near Parramatta was considered "regional" and people…
29/05/2024 - 00:07
fair point. thanks
28/05/2024 - 23:50
yeah got called off at the end - but didn't really follow what happened. 2% was in ~2011 when inflation was pretty low
28/05/2024 - 23:50
I am voicing my opinion If you cant take it then get out of this page i can take a contrary opinion but mind your language
28/05/2024 - 23:41
I used to work for the government. I recall they almost went on strike once when employer didn't agree to a 3.5% pay rise and instead…
28/05/2024 - 20:36
Putting aside reputation and repercussion of a government sacking employees, i totally agree with the proposition here. Before considering…
28/05/2024 - 20:33
Title says it all - what do ozb community think about workers going on strike just because they cant reach a deal with the gov on pay rise?…
