As if I needed another reason to not buy C.U.B. products.

One would hope that you are directly impacted and not just another Rent a Crowd member

Ahh, you do understand how unions won the rights we now take for granted, yeah?

I dont think that means everyone needs to march and blindly support every workplace dispute? especially those where the union quote snippets only give half the story?

And there are plenty of countries with better employment conditions than us who dont have the same union-praising history

How else does a labour force get results without withdrawing labour?

so a labour force should be able to just get whatever they want, and if not, take their ball and go home?
If so, then shouldnt an employer of that labour force be equally able to just take their ball and go find some new players?

Sure can. But they'll struggle to reach the ground! Hahaha!

it's a bit more complicated than that. The work force had negotiated & signed a workplace agreement with the employer 6 months ago which was supposed to last for 3 years. They found a loophole to pull the pin on it and apply an agreement that was not negotiated with the affected workers (or any workers it seems). Besides, the replacement workers are a stop-gap at best. Have a listen to the podcast I linked to.

Especially seeing how the union is treating the people who work for the new contractor. I can't see any reason at all to give them my support when they abuse people going about their legal work.

Directly impacted?... no I don't work at CUB if that's what you mean. But if these greedy pricks get away this its just another step closer to me, as an employee of a large plumbing company, getting dragged into my bosses office and being told " hey Curly, I know I normally pay you $1,200 a week but I've decided I'm only gunna pay you $400. Here...sign this or **** off ". Directly impacted? Not yet. Rent a crowd? No. Here in victoria we call it solidarity.

Found a loophole or used the loophole that they knew was always an option?
