Holden Gone!

Bring on nuclear power. Get past the hysteria and it makes sense.

People keep pointing the finger at the unions, whilst it is a big part of the problem its not the reason.

You cant compete with a country that pay's its workers 5 bucks a month.

Thailand's wages are apparently comparatively the same - in terms of average wage and cost of living etc. so it's all relative. But their productivity is ten times ours...we breed slack lazy fckers whose main goal is to milk the system whilst doing the least amount of work possible.

I.e. courtesy of the Fin Review...

Some of these aren't too extreme, but keep in mind this is whilst getting almost double the award wage to begin with. That sh*t doesn't happen in the real world. And this is just some of the terms they want to change, there'd be probably three times that list of stupid erroneous crap that the unions have loaded up in the EBAs that are crippling these companies.

Take a typical office worker on salary for example, they get a decent pay but that's it. There's no extra time off for union jaunts, or paid time to wash your hands at the end of the day, or paid overtime, or penalties for not having lunch. And FMD if you have a sicky you even have to prove it's legitimate! Unbelievable isn't it.

Agreed. Our country has some of the slackest workers on the planet.

I think almost all of those make sense for a company that may fail especially in this economic climate

[FPV TRANNY]

I agree.Australia has heaps of slack arse *beep* that milk the system.....I refuse to let these germs in my company.

[MattyP]

sounds like a good company

Unionised building sites are 10X worse than the manufacturing sector.I believe the Government should allow companies to hire cheaper labour,say from the Philippines or Indonesia.

Australian tradies have had it too easy far,far more than the ordinary person on the production line.

Companies have had massive blow outs of budgeted costs for buildings over the years.

I agree with a lot of the items in the left column but very few in the right hand column

Nuclear power is the way to go. All the mishaps have been with 30+ year old designs. Reactors, like everything else have come a long way in 30+ years. To put it into context. Previous generation Nimitz class aircraft carriers required 2 million litres of light crude every three days. Current generation Nimitz class nuclear powered aircraft carriers require a tennis ball size piece of uranium In its three reactors to power the ship for 20 years.

Yeah my work is full of slack pricks that want bulk money for as lttlie work as possible with no regard as to if this is sustainable and who will cry blue murder when they close the branch because of not making budget labour loving unionists are the bane of my existance
