Only the nancy boy Unionised workers get injured and go on compo.
Tough luck to them and the real workers take their jobs.
These Union noobs obviously haven't worked on Bamboo scaffold, or crossed a river by just two ropes.

They can't compete with Confederate Workers and are falling like flies from injuries.
You can hear them cry "Wahhh - its not safe enough"  Cry

Grin HTFU !!!


Working tomorrow scabby ?


Times have changed and the only 'scab' is the Unions now.
Survival of the fittest and better workers.
Your Union workers are crap. Cotton woolled for so long - nothing but nancies now. We just get on with the job regardless. We don't need Unions to know how to work effectively. We make our own deals with our Employers and the benefits are just as good as what you Unions try to offer your workers.
Go back to the USA you Yankee Unionists.  Grin

Why is wage growth the lowest it's ever been ?

There's more to be gained than just money in the pocket - especially the Union pocket.

You take the money.
We take Australia.

Nonscense.
Unions only enforce what is laid out in the wh&s act. That applies to industry and is legislation laid down by the governing body. 
The rest of it ie. task specific safety, is left up to the contracted workers. The union delo and the worksite whso will oversee and make sure you are following your jsea's and risk assesment procedures that you or your employer have filled out and signed onto. Alter away from your procedures you have written down and you are the one at risk. 

It's all fun and games untill a court is involved, then the htfu employers and jobsites will wipe their hands of you. Happens quite regularly.


And as someone who travels around all jobsites i have to say that the dodgy workers, and shonky workers are all on the little units and non eba jobs. The amount of reworks and just plakn stupid things you see happening just makes you wonder how they even get the job finished.

Give me an eba jobsite any day.

Well noone I know goes to work to deliberately injure themselves.



No but if you do things not even a special school student would do then you can expect an injury.

Like this case

dailymercury.com.au/news/quarry-operator-could-be-fined-horrific-workers-de/3214
308/

Quote:
  But Mr Martin argued there were clear signs warning Scovell of the dangers.

"There was a guard across the front of the gangway with a sign on it saying 'don't go up there'," Mr Martin told the court. "Not in our wildest dreams would we ever think that you would laid down on a gangway or crouch down in a low position and put your arm inside a gap that's 19 inches off the ground to remove mud off something, that's just not something we would ever contemplate."

Mr Martin said it was not part of Mr Scovell's job to "remove mud" and he acted "contrary to training". 


So was not part of job description and deliberately broke jobsite rules, yet the company is still being prosecuted, when it was the complete fault of the worker for his death.
