More than 1000 Australian childcare workers to strike
By AAP 11:54am March 5, 2017

...
A union spokeswoman said childcare workers were leaving the industry because of low pay. (AAP file image)

Hundreds of childcare workers across the country are set to walk off the job on International Women's Day to protest their pay rates, urging the Turnbull government to help.

But one federal minister reckons the strike will not bode well with busy parents reliant on day care workers.

Early childhood educators will urge the federal government to include policies to improve their pay in this year's budget, by launching a joint strike at 3.20pm this Wednesday.

The United Voice union said some workers were being paid as little as $20 an hour, which is half the average national average.

"Their business and mortgages aren't smaller than anybody else's and $20 an hour doesn't cut it," assistant national secretary Helen Gibbons told ABC TV today.

Ms Gibbons said the union is urging the government to act because parents cannot afford to pay more.

Workers were leaving the industry because of low pay, she said.

"They go into it with big hearts and a lot of professionalism and a lot of experience and a lot of qualifications," Ms Gibbons said.

"But they find when it comes to having their own family or making choices about buying a house or where they want to live, that they can't afford to stay in the sector."

Government frontbencher David Gillespie said the strike would not be welcomed by many mums and dads.

"I don't think (it) will endear them to a lot of the parents who have pretty busy and complex work arrangements," the assistant health minister told ABC TV.

Pay rate decisions are for the Fair Work Commission, he added.

no one is doing that.....but they take it out on the wrong people.....does this sound like caring child minders to you/????????

its time the unions found a better way....how would we be if say..

traffic light controllers turned them all off and went on strike.......because its there right..

after all child care centers cannot open on the day of the strike....

this I believe is wrong.. and using that old furphy doesnt do it for me anymore.

find a better way.

negotiation isnt that what they pay membership for....

this is the first I have heard of them wanting a raise.....

dont forget its the consumer that pays for it.

So Cods you don't have a problem with the thread title versus the thread topic? Could you please explain what connection the childcare workers have with the CFMEU? Or what Shorten has with the topic? You keep putting yourself in juLiars parallel universe.

And the BigMac with Coke and Fries continues to complain - about anything even the weather.

But back to the TOPIC of STRIKES to shut Australia down!!!!!

And Labor in Qld is being run by Bill Shorten's corrupt Commo unions.




Queensland leading the nation for strike action as unions runs riot
Business & Economy Employment & Training Political Queensland Government Published: 1st of December 2016
   
Latest ABS statistics on industrial disputation show the do-nothing Palaszczuk Labor Government has allowed Queensland to record the highest rates of industrial action in Australia.

Shadow Minister for Industrial Relations, Jarrod Bleijie, said all Queenslanders were paying for Labor’s failure to address union bullying and intimidation on Queensland worksites.

“Only yesterday we saw 700 CFMEU members down tools, walk off the job and shut down the streets of Brisbane in yet another arrogant display of union power – and yet again Annastacia Palaszczuk did nothing,” Mr Bleijie said.

“Over the September quarter there were almost 14,000 working days lost due to strike action in Queensland and almost 53,000 working days lost for the past year.

“Sadly, Queensland is again leading the nation on every single measure related to union activity because Annastacia Palaszczuk is running a protection racket for union bosses.

“In the last year, half of all working days lost due to strike action across Australia happened right here in Queensland.”


Mr Bleijie said Queenslanders ended up paying every time the Palaszczuk Labor Government turned a blind eye to spurious strike action from its union mates.

“Every time union members take long lunches, walk off the job, and threaten construction companies and their employees, it drives up the costs of units and houses for Queenslanders,” he said.

“That’s not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars added to the costs of government construction – such as Commonwealth Games facilities - that will end up coming from the pockets of Queensland taxpayers.

“Today’s ABS statistics are a sad and costly indictment on the Palaszczuk Labor Government and are proof in black and white that unions are being allowed to run riot in Queensland.”

Huh, since when? I am certainly not pro CFMEU but I was a  member of the ETU. I n my day the unions came under the ACTU umbrella and still do I think. Are you sure juLiar's 'alternate facts' are not mixing you up? I don't agree with you often Cods but do not let yourself sink to the juLiar level, you are way better than that.

The suicidal madness of Bill Shorten's corrupt Commo unions continues as they try to shut Australia down with their INDUSTRIAL ANARCHY!!!

Bill Shorten's corrupt Commo unions are incensed over the updated ABCC legislation which will crush them.

Wonder how Shorty's latest scare campaigns for the next election are going ?

Unions plan stop-work meeting for Brisbane and Gold Coast

THOUSANDS of unionists are expected to bring parts of Brisbane and the Gold Coast to a standstill on Thursday as they launch a anti-WorkChoices-style campaign against the Federal Government’s industrial relations agenda.

Although individual unions will be responsible for directing any stopwork actions on the day, organisers are expecting thousands to join the rallies, which will include a march through Brisbane’s CBD from Roma St to Waterfront Place.

The mass rallies, which are part of a national campaign, were unanimously endorsed last week by the Queensland Council of Unions executive and its 28 affiliate members in a meeting that also discussed strategy and tactics for a prolonged fight against what they called the Turnbull Government’s “radical” industrial relations agenda.

QCU general secretary Ros McLennan said the unions were “circling the wagons” in response to widespread member anger over a recent Fair Work Commission decision to reduce some Sunday penalty rates, the reintroduction of the Australian Building and Construction Commission, increasing wage inequality and the erosion of working conditions and safety.

“Australian workers saw this pattern under John Howard in 2007 and they’re seeing it again now under the Turnbull Government,” she said.

“They will stand up and fight back when their wages and conditions are under attack.”

...
Thursday’s action will affect Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

State Opposition spokesman for employment and industrial relations Jarrod Bleijie said the unions were the Labor Party’s “puppet masters” and accused them of “deliberate political sabotage”.

“The cost to businesses particularly in the construction industry with the involvement of the CFMEU and ETU is millions of dollars every day when they have these political strikes,” he said.

“That’s all they are and for no other purpose than political disruption.”

A spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland said the deliberate decision to rally on a weekday would cause severe disruption to commerce and hurt small businesses.

“CCIQ would implore unions and others involved to consider the impacts that a large-scale protest will have on the sales and profitability of businesses in the city,” he said.

Construction unions such as the Construction Forestry Mining and Engineering Union and Electrical Trades Union have heavily promoted the rally on their websites.

The CFMEU declined to comment about whether their members would stop work on Thursday.

The SDA, which is Australia’s largest union and covers retail and hospitality workers directly affected by the decrease in Sunday penalty rates, also did not respond.

Plumbers Union Queensland state secretary Gary O’Halloran said individual members would be advised that a rally was on but would need to take the day off to attend.

The Federal Government did not respond to our requests for comment.

Corruption runs rampant thru Labor in Qld. But then Labor without corruption is like salt without pepper.

Shorty's last resort as he gets increasingly cut off at the pass by immovable Malcolm is to call a AUSTRALIA WIDE STRIKE with INDUSTRIAL ANARCHY!!!

A return of the union lunacy in the old Tariff Wall days when unions were KING.





Queensland Labor Party’s link to CFMEU debacle

THE Palaszczuk Government has been accused of changing the law on credit card disclosure to protect the interests of union fat cats.

The Courier-Mail yesterday revealed an independent auditor raised questions about ­expenditure by the Queensland branch of the CFMEU mining division.

About 30 officials racked up $721,116 on their credit cards last financial year.

Auditor Jason Croston said there was no evidence that all expenditure was incurred solely for business purposes.

...

Opposition industrial relations spokesman Jarrod Bleijie said the State Government chose the last session of Parliament to repeal Newman government laws requiring credit card expenditure to be revealed publicly.

“Once again we are seeing the CFMEU treating its hard-working members with disdain while union bosses live the high life,” he said.

“CFMEU members have every right to know how union bosses racked up $721,116 of their money on union credit cards. An independent report of CFMEU’s credit card charges couldn’t even determine whether the charges were business-related.

“It is little wonder Annastacia Palaszczuk trashed the state’s industrial relations laws to ensure union bosses no lon-ger had to disclose their credit card expenses and statements.”


Union secretary Timothy Whyte would not return calls yesterday, but denied any wrongdoing in a statement, saying all the expenditure was for official business.

He said reports about the independent audit were “inaccurate and misleading”.

Mr Whyte said the Fair Work Commission gave the branch a deadline of January 31 to submit further financial statements and documents.

He said the CFMEU had reiterated to its staff the importance of keeping receipts for auditing purposes.

His comments came the same day as Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk ordered all her MPs to stop using personal email servers to communicate with unionists. The ban comes after the Electrical Trades Union contacted Energy Minister Mark Bailey through his personal account to raise concerns about a superannuation issue.

Ms Palaszczuk said she was yet to speak to Mr Bailey, but would raise the issue with her entire Cabinet.

“I am going to make it clear to all ministers that it is my clear expectation that all stakeholders dealing with ministers do so through their official government email.”

Rusty container out the back and house the hospitalers on the job site, throw in a bag of rice once a week, hook up a power extension cord, and Bob's yer uncle... that way you can call 'em out at need any time and they can be there in a minute.. and you don't have to pay them penalty rates while you get to charge them for room and board.. then there's the power bill..... line 'em up once a week and hand out a small bag of $2 coins... a la Gina's $2 workers...

EVERYONE has a right to strike. they're not slaves who HAVE to show up to work if they don't want to.

You seem to be under the misconception that they need to be concerned with you being discomforted for a day, all whilst you've never in return shown any concern at their issues. They don't. They have to fight for their rights because no one else will do it for them.
