I just gave you an example above if you bothered to read. I've also got an example from a relative, where a union tried to intimidate them into retaining a worker who was slack, didn't turn up to work (I could go on) - if he had've given into it what do you think keeping that employee would have done to the business? It would have driven him to the wall. There is no way he could have afforded to keep the bloke on - he'd lose money by doing so. |
So the business went to the wall then Joel?
Still hoping you will give me some examples |
I thought you asked the question | Quote: | Why would Unions want to send businesses to the wall?
|
So intent doesn't count?

I've have actually got many of those stickers here at home with me.Would you like a couple to stick on your motor vehicle or on your fridge at home.....
Hey Northern Pie no need to get personnal...I have no idea where you reside and as far as I am concerned the local yokel isnt woth peeing on anyway.Also our seat was redistributed uder the AEC,we also lost out sitting member to cancer,so we basicaly started from scratch.Our candidates were Independant,Nationals,Country Labor,Greens & Citizens Electral Council and only one visited our town and he was revoted back in.You see the seat of Calare is the biggest in NSW and there is alot of country to cover.One of the main bugbears that we have out here is that the NextG dosent work properly,that the CDMA should continue and even though many of the Nationals lost their seats unfortunately many people still have their 'blinkers' on and stick with the incumbent.As far as the CDMA is concerned there is NO firm commitment that now that the ALP is in power that the CDMA will close on January 28/2008 I suggest that you 'watch this space'The Next G is useless out here and only Vodafone & CDMA works properly so we shall see what happens.
I also voted with who I felt would do a better job BUT that wasnt the case with many people on this BIG vast electorate,so I suggest that you keep your comments to yourself.
Any way lets see what happens.

Crazy about daisy.I can understand what you are saying,BUt its unfortunate that is some areas of aiustralia the NextG network is fine,BUT in areas like out here its useless.
As far as Optus is concerned well they dont function out here,neither does telstra digital.The only carriers out here are vodafone and CDMA and NextG when it works......
Unfortunately all companies have got their different speils to abide by BUT again 1/2 of them have no ideas what its like out in rural Australia,BUT saying that well its again up to the individual anyway.This is one of the contentious debates out here in country NSW that no one in the last government was interested in trying to achieve,so lets see what happens with the rudd government.

Barresi was the only one I ever saw around this area, met him and Johnny when they were out here a while ago, also saw him around a few times later in the campaign, his people were also out in force the last week or so, only time I saw anything about Symons was the 3000 posters he had up at the polling booth compared to Barresis 1  Also actually heard some policy offered towards us from Phil and the Libs, nothing from Silent Symons and Rudd
Met the Labor candidate for Casey though, very desperate to hand out her material to me even though I couldnt vote in her area yet

Oh can I assume now that the Union Labor party has won, that blatant avatar advertising will now be done away with?

How dumb are you?
That is so funny because you think you are being sarcastic, you don't realise it is the Truth
Ignorance is bliss I guess

You and the other losers on here should start a dummy spitting contest.
I reckon you would be in with a shot at winning it.

How dumb am I? I guess only a man of your self appointed supreme intelligence is the only one that can judge that....
What exactly makes me a loser, I have declared and maintain that I have no political persuasion to any party or movement and that remains a fact today. I may be considered dumb by you by stating the blatantly obvious but I am certainly not a sheep so bleet on, Frank, bleet on!
Besides, how dumb are you? the post you have quoted in this instance was in reference to me not bothering to reply to PP because it is and has been in vain before, I bit and bit back and am not feeling that good about it atm....so until you know what you are talking about I suggest you stop with the assumptions.....
Cheers
