[Jester4444444]

I will stand with you!

[HollandHolland08]

are these people serious? are they actually for real? "working class scum", "slack people who cannot manage their own money". who the hell do you think you are? do you people realise that you are in a vanishingly small minority compared to the masses of the people? and you think that by being in this tiny minority your somehow superior to the rest of us? because you dont know what it means to have to actually work to feed your family. dont make me laugh. filthy capitalists. YOU are the scum

[konigr]

Working Families are made up of slack people who cannot manage their own money! Screw the socialists. People like me work hard so that we can earn the money we do. That's my opinion anyway.

[CountryQuestion]

Solidarity from Glasgow, Scotland! Keep at it friends!

to end inequality in Australian workplace practices STILL YET TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE RUDD-GILLARD GOVERNMENT

ATTENTION QLD ALP MPs who GOT ELECTED off the backs of the BLF - With the next election expected in 2010 you might want to show the construction workers a bit more respect, get off your backside and repealing this discriminatory legislation - tell your boss about it.

You can't have two separate laws - one for the nation's workers and one for builders!

[darkstarownzu]

Solidarity to the brothers in BLFQ. Get pansy Rudd off his arse and put an end to the attack on builders and construction workers.

So much for Fair Work. The only industry where you can be jailed and lose your house for failing to divulge the contents of a union meeting.

Show solidarity to our mates who put up the buildings right wing stooges sit in with their comfy air-conditioned offices.

[btaylor9661]

@darkstarownzu Soladarity behind the construction workers, of course no one is buidling anything but they have their rights. Just keep em marching in step and use the UAW and USW and teamsters dues to pay them. Oh I forgot those dues were all spent to get Democrats elected. Good to see the union went all in on that. Might be nice to ask your union workers what they wnat to do with the dues they are paying but union officials could care less, the hell with the workers.

[digswins]

The ALP are doing there very best to apease the business council and that parrot Heather Ridout and as such are marginalising unions and their members further.The ALP need unions to survive...Unions do not need the ALP...

[IWW610]

SOLIDARITY FELLOW WORKERS!

[btaylor9661]

@IWW610 Solidarity my ass what about jobs for your kids so they do not have to move away from their families. There have been so many companies run out of towns and now our kids have to move elsewhere for jobs and leave their families. But you all made a stand for the union and you won when those companies left town, you won. Families lost.

[redtaf]

this is why australia is as good as it is

count me in boys unoin forever

[allanallanson]

Ha!

[benelonggone]

Too beautiful

[rlugg]

Slightly too macho... do you not have women in your unions in Australia...?

[electronsarebrave]

Good point. And yes we do.

[crackers95]

Ture Blue Australian people allways say if its not Broke dont Change it...

John Howard trying to bring more USA Laws to Australia we are not that dumb to let that Happen

[ggwau]

Highly recommended viewing for anyone who needs to understand the mentality of "Unionists".

What a load of neanderthal anarchists !

I'm a WORKER, meaning I WORK not bludge so stuff the unions where the sun don't shine.

[butrixtundle]

I bet you are enjoying all the fruits that the Union and it's members have fought for. Do you get holiday pay? Do you get penalty rates? Do you have access to OHS? Do you have 10 sick days a year? These are the benefits Howard wants to take from you and your family. Wake up to yourself!!!!! We NEED Unions and Union representation...Howards government doesn't give a shit about you or your family!!

[mtk19712003]

Union member are like sheep who get herded here and there.....if the Milky Bar Kid wins the election, where will the caucus meetings be held....Trades Hall?

[butrixtundle]

Non union members are also like sheep...but instead they're just allowing themselves to be lead to their slaughter!

[vl0007]

Mate, if it wasn't for the Unions, you would be working for bread and water. Just remember that next time you drive past trades hall, bow and say thank you to the Milky Bar Kid. :)

[mtk19712003]

Sorry vl007, but my MBA and Masters in Economics suggests I might still be in the top end of town!

[benelonggone]

Hmm, dont see many gainfuly employed economists with MBA's in free market Russia - idiot

[doristhepig]

My forklift licence makes sure you get fed and clothed,keep that in mind fuck face.

[mtk19712003]

Keep in mind you muppet that investment bankers like me raise the capital for companies that you work for to buy that forklift! I guess trying to explain this to someone who probably didn't get past year 9 was always going to be a difficult task....here endeth the lesson you working class scumbag....

[digswins]

There once was a time in this country when merchant banker was rhyming slang for another fitting term....now it just means merchant banker.

Have you still got your unshakable confidence in the free market economy now you parrot???

You and all them rich motherfuckers that OWN you are the problem not the solution.

People not profits!

Solidarity for Ever!

[btaylor9661]

@digswins All you have to do is go out and start your own company and you can put people ahead of your profits all you want. Oh thats right you have no guts to step out from under the union umbrella, you don't want to lose you guarenteed pay and benefits. Where does that pay go, into your own pocket. Why not just give it all up like you want the company to do for other people. Oh because you wnat a boat, a home, a new car, and send the kids to college. CHOICES!

[commissarusa]

Get off your ass for a change, you lazy rich bastard! Filth like you are the parasites that suck away the wealth of all countries! If it were up to me, you would be fired and the workers would institute self-management. We don't need you. We have never needed you. If you want your factory back, you have to actually work at it like a human being instead of sitting on your ass checking your stocks every 15 minutes. There can be no compromise with bloodsuckers like you! WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!

[baysidelad1]

Lazy???? I worked my arse off for 5 years at Uni to get my masters degree, then did my MBA at night (while I had a full time job).I had a HECS debt of $80k that I needed to pay off as well, and now that I'm earning $350k you think I'm 'lazy'????? Give me a break,working class SCUM like you who were wagging from school in year 10 (assuming you stayed there that long) while I studied hard are the lazy pricks! I'd LOVE to see someone with no formal qualifications run a company..don't make me laugh

[TJNorton1]

@baysidelad1 So you're saying that blue collar workers are "lazy" and assuming that a university degree places someone on a higher pedestal in society? You're full of yourself, mate. Go get a reality check. There are just as many blue collar workers out there with uni degrees as there are white collar workers like yourself. Just remember who built that skyscraper you're probably sitting in and reclining in that foreign-made office chair costing the jobs of Australian workers. You're a joke lol

[btaylor9661]

@commissarusa Workers have to have jobs to be considered a worker. No jobs because of union makes it difficult to stick together. You seem to think just because you are in the union that you are the only workers, far far from it. We need many jobs and we cannot have them all with full benefits and golden paychecks. You would never eat out at a resturant due to the expense. You would not support those workers if the cost of the product was to high.

[commissarusa]

@btaylor9661

You don't seem to understand what unions do. Unions are there to defend their fellow workers from exploitation. If you tried to form a union or get involved with an existing one, you would be able to pay for the MARGINALLY higher costs that come from decent wages. But you are right about the unions who betray their workers and sell out to the ruling class. The ultimate goal of a union must be to give the workers full control over their place of work, or nothing can be achieved.

[btaylor9661]

@commissarusa go ahead and unite, but one problem you gutless basterds haqve had plenty of time to unite and start this company or keep he ones going that closed and just run it yourselves. Where is a successful example of that? No where I know of because you would pay yourselves all the profit up front and then when times got tough you would have not pay and you would have to lay yourselves off.

[commissarusa]

@btaylor9661

It actually has been achieved many, many times. For instance, in the present-day occupied factory movement in Argentina, in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War, and during the very early days of the Russian Revolution. In every instance, production has jumped by vast amounts. The workers have a say in how things are run, they make decisions together, and as a result they are happier and more productive. Thus, production increases.

[btaylor9661]

@mtk19712003 Well said MTK, you can't talk to these poor folks they think the union is on their side. The union is solidarily selling their butts down the river by supporting only one party not the person who might be able to help them Now that same union has gone all in with their union dues in this election and lost. Come next election they will sped the dues they bring in from now until 2012 and then it should be done. Can't come soon enough.

[btaylor9661]

@doristhepig Not if your forklift is setting idle its not. No company no forklift, no need for a forklift dirver. In addition to that if your job is listed available there will be thousands of applications for it at much less that you make now that is for sure. But if you are not part of our free market you are somewht protected unitl they close the company.

[btaylor9661]

@vl0007 What a bunch of bull, I will bow my head and pray the union goes down the tubes. You keep wanting to unionize Walmart to protect the workers, jobs will protect the workers no jobs will bring them nothing but heartache. Go start your own compnay and I insist you unionize it and see if you even have a dogs ass chance to survive.

[TurdBurgerz]

The sooner we get rid of unions so we don't have to watch crap like that the better.

[mattbourke]

unions are just a form of democracy, look at the european union for example its brought a lot of wealth and improvement to eastern europe

[dankru]

You're an idiot Turd.

[jayeff49]

Unfortunately the trade unions are the ONLY HANDICAP Kevin might have in winning the next General Election. The Australian Labour Party would be better served without the "unions connection". What a shame to have the "trade unions shackel"!!

[dankru]

Trade unions started the ALP. Think about it.

[jayeff49]

The unions have served their purpoe, and they did that very well (and I am NOT being sarcastic!) This is 2007, think about it!

[dankru]

Served their purporse? They still serve a valuable purpose today. Yes, it's 2007. So what? The historical inbalance in the bargaining relationship doesn't disappear overnight.

[mattbourke]

that flag should be the australian flag, remove the union jack and just have that flag, its the moment the free market was founded in australia, as well as the moment the general person or individual sole trader had had enough
