The Wallaby Team is on the verge of 'revolting' on behalf of Israel Folau.

Now that's thrown a spanner in the works of the Media's 'Gay Support Movement'

Weird I heard the opposite.

That's Media for you. I've now heard of 'both' - for and against.
Wonder if the Australian Cricket Team thinks the same of Smith & Warner??

The Wallabies might be the biggest Losers on the Australian Sport scene with the All Blacks always dominating them by 80% over the decades (like the Proteas dominating the Aust Cricketers). But the Wallabies have always stuck by their fellow Team-Mates through thick and thin. It's their one admirable quality born from a strong 'Gallipoli' vibe.
I think they will jilt the establishment and 'Mutiny' for the young Christian Fletcher.

Gnads wrote on May 14^th, 2019 at 11:36am:


Doesn't matter.

If new policies are introduced, they apply to everyone - signature or no signature.

Ok why?

The whole team will be labeled as bigots.

Folau made a big mistake by making himself bigger than rugby and needs to pay a price.

He should be smart enough not to drag the whole team into his bigotry.

They would allow the employees to grow it out while still working (when the policy is first implemented).

Or, they'd ask them to stay home until it has grown out.

What colour is your hair, FD?

I'm curious.

Incorrect.

There's no need for a signature.

He signed a new contract at the start of the year. The social media clause would have been included because they've already had this issue with him in the past.

"How to deal with a refusal to sign:

"If an employee refuses to sign a policy, the employer may seek to take the following steps:

"Tell the employee that they are still required to comply with the policy and that failure to do so may lead to disciplinary action, irrespective of whether they sign the acknowledgement form."

If I found out that after I have signed for "Do not go into the

Red

Square" in the workplace.
Then they incorporate "Do not go in the

Blue

and

Green

Squares too."
Then I need to 'sign' for it - to verify 'legally'.
If I and other Employees wish to consider that it is safer to access the Green and Blue Squares - then it should be signed for.
I don't know which Companies you have worked for, but they are obviously as 'presumable' as the Cowboy Privatised Construction Companies I have worked for who think they can just make it up as they go along.
You must enjoy taking it up the butt a lot. We know you do here - but for money too, it seems.

Nope. I've had a 'game changer' a number of times where they get us to agree/sign on one thing and think they can just take liberty of us accepting more 'extensions' on the contract.
As always, either personal legal action or Union action makes them back off. I always 'disagree/non accept' to any change made, unless I actually signed for it.
It's amazing the 'ego' some White Collars get, when they think that Blue Collars are idiots and of lesser standing.
White Collars are just 'process' workers too - not Academics.

Crap.  If the Boss says "New Rule.  Work here abide by it, otherwise far cough," and you continue to work there, by your very conduct, you have accepted the 'New Rule.'

What a load of Crap you guys work in! 
I suppose you work with the 'Customer is always Right'?

You guys are backwater then. Here in Australia - the Worker is Right. 

You must work for some pretty crappy companies if you have to take it up the clacker like that.
A 'change' is like a change to the original contract.
If there is 'nothing' to sign for the 'change' - then its a void.
New Zealand used to do it often to its workers - but hey, they do work for USA wages over there.

They blow semen whispers in each other's ears often.
Sweet nothings.

I've worked some very good jobs and for some of the best Employers and Companies. The minority has been the pits and I've walked away or being sacked for not 'signing' on their corrupt dotted... lines.
Peckerhead & Boofhead are desperados who 'have to' tow the line. Corrupt Employers love workers like them. Me? I have a pretty good 'Lawyer, Solicitor & Tax Agent' that I can turn to if the crappy Employers try to treat me like a cheap-labour Asian/Indian.
Only once have I taken an Employer to Court (and the Police) for 'Financial Assault' and I have won that. Didn't need a 'Union' to do it. It's the 'Confederate' Way 
In the old 'younger' days, I would just shagg the Secretary, if my over-time wasn't paid (billed him). I even got to see the Serbians teach an Employer about 'ripping off wages' - by fleecing the entire workplace during one night.

Who needs Unions? 
Who needs crappy Employers? 

I remember a good episode of Australian Story where an Employer in QLD looked after his workers and they looked after him. No need for Union. It was a win-win.

Peckerhead & Boofhead (The Butt-Head Bros) obviously work 'just a job'.

You're right if all employers looked after their employees there wouldn't need to be workers Unions.

But they're as scarce as rocking horse shyte  & there are far far more that don't ..... hence the need for Trade Unions.

Now tell me if in the perfect world all employers looked after their employees ......

would think that they would still belong to their associations, guilds, councils etc?

After all they are all Unions ..... Unions of Employers.

And so far history has shown that by enlarge employers exploit their labour.

BTW ...... where or should I say "when" you work
do you work to an award?

Do you work to a 38 or 40 hr week?

get  award rates, annual leave, sick leave, parental leave, compassionate leave, superannuation paid,overtime/penalty rates, shift penalty etc.?

Well if you get any of that you can thank Trade Unions because you didn't/don't get that out of the goodness of an employers heart.

Rubbish - if you don't sign all the documents then
you don't get the job.
It's the same now in every job.

Don't worry Peeps. The Peckerhead isn't getting it. He works in the 'Economy Class' section. He's the type of worker who 'needs the Union'.

greggerypeccary wrote on May 15^th, 2019 at 9:20pm:

You are a union hack. And a stupid, dishonest, lying hack.



You do not need to sign anything to be be bound by the organisation's policies.  Code of Conduct is not something you can opt out of.

Greggy is a communist union organiser who misleads people.

So yes the employer can force you to sign some crappy document.

What about the bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination , privacy and social media crap you have to sign everywhere you go?

Why didn't you respond to my question about what conditions you enjoy in the work environment?

Are you a taker who won't contribute?

You know leach off the hardwork of others?

You take for granted that you are entitled to all the award conditions around wages, hours of work, workers compensation, sick and annual leave etc.. like they were just put in place by magic or by the goodness of Employer Associations hearts....

They actually try year in and year out to erode away those entitlements hard won by the Trade Unionists.

now de Belin is still suspended.....

its amazing we have some of the worlds worst child killers in this country and they dont get the press these two guys have had...
