I can't believe how golden some of the handshakes still are! We get 1 weeks pay for each year of service, capped at 13 weeks.

What the absolute ****!! How!?rbtmc said:$50,000 cash payout after 3 years work (voluntary redundancy)
You sound jealous. I know I am.koots said:What the absolute ****!! How!?
I think the threshold is $150 million http://aftinet.org.au/cms/node/977KevinR said:More redundancies coming. With the government signing the free trade agreement with China, Chinese companies with projects of $1 billion can bring their own worker's from China without the obligation to pay Australian wages and conditions. With in days of signing the agreement John Holland pty ltd was taken over by China.
This is just the beginning
I left Mccain just over a month ago, you aren't talking about Steve are you?slcmorro said:Yep - A round has just gone through McCain Foods, where I work. A bloke of 37 years was tapped on the shoulder and asked to leave. He gets 111 weeks of payout, plus all his AL and LSL though so he's not in dire straits, but it's still ordinary.

If you take the minister at his word, I have some prime real estate to sell you, back of Bourke, but sure to take off any day now.Dave70 said:Heard the minister for whatever interviewed on the free trade agreement the other morning. Apparently theres nothing to worry about in regard to jobs moving offshore. Its just a natural progression of industries gravitating toward countries who are more specialized in that particular field, presumably fields like working for around $1200 AUD per month in Chinas case. So apparently we just need to discover our strengths and business will come flooding in.
And bugger Shorten. If he's not agreeing with with stuff he hasn't even heard, he's tucking into a snot appetizer.
..gross..

pist said:It just keeps getting worse by looks of it. Theres no way unemployment is as low as they report. I was made redundant after 9 years with the same company within the rail manufacturing industry back in 2013. Coal price went down, mines slowed down production and demand for locos to ship it pretty much stopped. Place is near closing its doors now due to government sending passenger car contracts offshore to china. Those contracts could easily keep the doors open and some people still employed...upshot is they get a quality product that will last in excess of 20 years as opposed to 5 or 6...but its all about getting cheap ****. Ship builders here in newcastle are just about to suffer the same fate. Pollies have alot to answer for
