Looks like the union idea of 5 weeks leave is well justified. Sad

6 weeks is more realistic.

So then you'd agree to 7 weeks for shift workers whose rosters involve majority weekends & public holidays?

They've been getting 5 weeks annual leave for the last 44 years or so - whilst non shift workers got only 4 weeks.

Absolutely.

Shift work destroys your life.

They deserve everything they can get.

It is better to give then to receive. Your whole mindset is " how can I do less, how can I be a better taker, how can I extract value, how can I get without contributing" It's very low quality

Well then. Maybe YOUR workers should buy the Companies & Businesses like they do in South America... just to keep themselves in a job, where employment is hard to find BECAUSE of a lack of Companies & Businesses going around?!

Sorry. You are right. But only in the last 3 years. Not nearly as long as civvies.

Which is disgraceful.

Well done to Labor (and Albo) for doing it though, albeit many decades too late.

Worker Co-operatives in Australia have been in existence my entire lifetime(70yrs) that I know of - & probably longer.

Some successful some not.

In the 1960's it was believed that productivity would mean that we would be working a 3 day week before the year 2000.

What wasn't considered at that time was the greed of the top 0.5% and the political corruption would mean that all the productivity would go to this top percentile and the rest of us would get nothing.

Yes the productivity was real it just wasn't distributed. 99.99997% didn't trickle down.

The world of government governing for the people came to an end.
