Just wanted to see what the general consensus out there was.
Cheers guys

Not yet, but as I'm management I don't expect to be.
I still think it's terrible what Little Johnny has done and hope Labor romp home in the next federal election.

Not as yet, but I work for Safeway Supermarket, and we have the SDA - Australias most powerfull union - behind us.
We are in the process of discussing new agreements though, and whilst we will loose out on some benefits (ie. Sick pay and Family leave will be combined into personal leave with less hours), we do get a rather hefty pay increase over 5 years, and other benefits.
But it is a huge scarry issue that I hope will mean we will finally get rid of the cancer that is John Howard

I know of someone who was a mother & house wife for 30 years, & is now 61 & has not worked for 30 years because her husband worked & it wasn't necessary for her to work, but now her husband was made redundant & now the wife has to work or do volunteer work or the both of them will only get half the dole. that is a new law & its unfair to force someone out into the work force who hasn't been in the work force for that long as its so scary for her. it will be the pension next to go because a couple of years back she would have got the pension i think
