Want a little wager that if the Thai company manufactures the parts overseas paying $1.12 per hour that the parts will still cost the same here. Just look at the hospitality industry. They pay there workers about the same as $1.12 per hour yet when booking into the hotel you will be paying the same as Oz or even more per night and expected to tip the workers because of there poor wages. Lets look at the whole picture before putting the boot into unions and workers rights. To read what some put on this site would tend one to think that they are really up themselves and forgotten how they have got what they have now through the sweat of past unionist.
I wonder if the site in question in Melb is shut down because of the weekend and as nearly everyone gets one RDO a month and it falls on that Mon why the hell would they picket a site that is closed or are the scabs working it over the weekend on flat pay.
That's the way the mop flops.
My thanks to Brian for this site.
