Salary

Wage increase gained for members by evil unionist? 2%
Salary increase gained by parliamentarians? 2.5%

The fact one gets sacked by the ALP (despite gaining no personal benefit) for such a disgraceful figure, and the other will (most likely**) be accepted by the very same party? Priceless*.

(* - may not actually be priceless, may be an actual monetary figure, level of hypocrisy directly related to public outrage.)

(** - will change "most likely" to "did" if/when Labor fails to request something a bit more rational.)

I should also note the unions increase was about 2/3 of inflation, the politicians seems to be around double.

Hi Larry,

Yes the ALP. and Unions.

ALP is still playing it's little prefernce games with right-wing parties (though I suppose the ALP is now a right wing party)even though the last time they did it federally it meant that Family First fuckwit Stephen Fielding got up in the Senate.

Oh, and some unions. I was recently offered a job, with what I though was a very progressive union - but it was on the condition that I joined the ALP. Obviously I'm not going to be working for them

Heya Aleks,

Fielding isn't a complete fuckwit, I've grown slightly fond of his voting patterns (considering).

You should have joined the union, then left the ALP - and filed for unlawful dismissal if they let you go ... the door swings both ways.

But that is a disgraceful requirement - political allegience a requirement for a job - surely that's illegal.

The problem is that you would be playing into the coalitions plans - the potential negative feedback it could have on the union, which is really it's members not the officials, would be too much of a risk for most officials. The reason why people do it is to help the membership, noy harm them.
