Unions are incredibly important institutions needed to advocate for the rights of workers who may otherwise not have the skills or abilities to negotiate for themselves. Such as the CFMEU who recently made a political deal to protect timber workers jobs, the result of which was for the Federal Labour Party to loose seats in the last election, thus ensuring the return of the Liberal Government and the subsequent introduction of new Industrial Relations Laws that make it easier for workers to get sacked………er, hang on a minute, let me rephrase that……

everything is rather contorted in politics. however, a deregulated workforce where people are considered a
comodity (as workers) and can be traded on price alone can't be the way of the future. And I'm not sure
that one unions bad judgement should condemn the efforts of all other unions.

It seems these days that the Governments who interfere the least to minimise human suffering are all the rage. With that sort of Government in vogue, perhaps we need unions more than ever.

The wall at Cornell Uni in upstate NY has (had?) real rock holds. Quite cool. Hard to change though.
