Dealership Mechanics

I could care less about other countries labor policies but some one sent me this video so I'll comment. collective bargaining means you won't get a raise unless everybody does. So when you work harder than the rest of the worthless lot it's to no avail because the company has to pay the worthless the same as the productive and therefore can't afford to reward acheivement. Smaller classes benefit no

one but the union as private schools do better

with more students per teacher

[Jimisonjons]

What? I think you're forgetting something. Bosses do no work at all! THEY shouldn't be paid at all.

[marklincoln]

Have no idea what your stament has to do with my comment? Unions are nothing but communism in disguise

@marklincoln,

I couldn't have said it better myself.

the ad is designed to convey a simple yet important point, no, it's not a flashy coke ad i'll grant you that.If you are a union memeber and collective bargaining is still not a happening thing in your workplace, do something about it, demand it!!Your rights at work are worth fighting for! Remember??

Judging by what's happening in RailCorp with our collective bargaining, it doesn't look like it's making much of a comeback. When will the NSW State Government get onto the bargaining bus and start negotiating in good faith?

[Unionthugette]

Doesn't look as if you used actors, the delivery of the uninspiring script is rendered dull and lifeless. In an increasingly un-unionised world you might want to explain collective bargaining as well.

The message is right but frankly this ad is BORING. Let's be fair dinkum. Has the ALP brought collective bargaining back?

[JustinFromSydney]

I don't think the ad goes far enough.. It says "voters voted it back".. but have they got it back?
