not wanting to upset anyone by my questions, but jut interested in the responses and views of those who are concerned with these type of issues.

one more questions :

how many are on current union agreed EBA's that now think they may not be payed as much if this reform does go ahead ??

a boss/employer is not in business to make their employees rich

i got over working for a boss who was happy to pay his "mates" in the company plenty more than those who just worked there, regardless of their role or what they actually did. I now work for myself, make slightly more than half of what i was earning as an employee, i am happier, have more time to do things for myself and at the end of the day every cent i have, i have made for me

no doubt my view's will be slammed by someone, but if you are really worth what you think you are, in a just world, a boss/employer should have no problem in paying you that. If you are not happy with the money or conditions in which you work there is nothing keeping you there ??

the way todays work force is going alot of employees feel they should be paid more for doing less, hard work is too hard and that it is a privelage that they let their employer give them a job. Pride in their work is going out the window, 'care factors' are less and less, yet we will whinge and complain about sending work overseas to a third world country with thousands lining up for jobs. These people will work for less, do a FULL days work and be just as good if not better at the job because they actually appreciate it and want it
