Goodbye Bronwyn

[wide eyed and legless]

The wealth of a society comes overwhelmingly from one single source--the ability of enterprising people to look to the future and see the opportunity to make profits (an evil concept to socialists). When they can, they get busy and the productive cycle starts that brings employment and goods and services. When they can't, they register with the government to be sure to get their share of the pie, what little there is.

Is it as simple as that? It's no wonder wages are spiralling out of control.

The rail strikers don't want to accept the generous offer of 17% as they were shouting at their rally, 'What do we want, 18% when do we want it, we want it now' It all increases wages and cost of living

That because they want a better work-life balance. They dont want to be working the long hours that their masters want them to.

As long as mine keeps spiraling up I`ll be fine......

Are you a manager..?

Most people who want better work life balance either become a boss however, I suspect that they would not like to become a boss because they would have to deal with workers similar to themselves.

At the moment I have been forced to manage because I needed to justify the pay increase that I wanted.

Edit: Mind you I have to deal with a poor life work balance but hey....that the trade off I guess.

Internal Metro documents, seen by the Herald Sun, show that an average driver, who with penalties and allowances is paid $140,000, drives 124km in 3.58 hours and is able to go home, but is still paid for an eight-hour shift.

That does not sound right.

But then again who are we to argue against leaked "Internal Documents". to a Newscorp paper

There is a reason while actual conditions are never made public.......


With all this hoo haa going on I would have thought they were getting paid 50k.

140k for unskilled labor.......what an awesome country we live in

Maybe you should give up your poorly paid job as a manager and become a train driver

But it's boring

Rail Tram and Bus Union ­secretary Luba Grigorovitch said: “The current proposal which Metro has put forward is unacceptable because Metro wants drivers to go up and back the same track day, in day out. This will lead to complacency and boredom.”

Some would accuse me of sarcasm. I prefer to think my comment was facetious and ironic.

Well, having worked on the railways I can say ( having known a lot of drivers in my time ) that driving trains is very very boring. And yes it does lead to complacency. This is why they roster drivers on different roads over the course of the fortnight to stop complacency and increase safety. You become more aware if your surroundings are always changing. They do the same with pilots

Its not as simplistic as you want it to be WEAL

This is comedic....

This highlights that even though many business owners understand their own business and attendant environment, they mostly have a very poor grasp of macroeconomics.

All Metro is wanting to do is bringing Melbourne into line with the rest of Europe, that is how they run over there.

What was Manticle saying yesterday about damned statistics. They can say anything a person wants them to say.

Bit like leaking internal documents to make the union look bad to a Newscorp Paper
