Do you REALLY think it's our unions?
Or is it perhaps the lack of unions in the foreign countries that they (fat cats) are now exploiting.

Governments are in a bind (liberal &/or labour) they are caught between paying millions to Holdens or ford to supplement wages, or paying the same people at the dole queue.
What choice do they really have?

All this talk about how much the labour costs are, in my mind deter from who is walking away with the money. If 10 forklift drivers are pocketing $80k per year for a full days work and overtime that pales into insignificance to 5 middle managers who are raking in $250k because some big wig wants to palm off his duties under the guise of "delegating"

I'm no socialist, but when clowns in suits who offer little to no value add are walking away with disproportionately large pay checks, it pisses me off.

The marketing clowns who wrote the BS that was posted on Holden's Facebook page are... Well don't get me started on that.
