It has been revealed that unions are planning a seven-day strike in a bid to ramp up the pressure on the Coalition and businesses over the perceived 'exploitation' of labour-hire workers.

The exploitation is not ;perceived', it's proven fact.

It’s not ‘perceived’ you Twanks, it’s fracking real. Eat shit

So they should, labour hire companies DO exploit workers, and it's about time labour hire clients take some of the responsibility in regard to wage rip offs, unpaid superannuation and working conditions. The 'hear no evil, see no evil' approach of big business must be stopped.

Typical 'Perceived'

Are u talking about the exploitation of wokers by bill shorten when he was in charge and sold them out to corporations

When all else fails - strike ! Nothing new in industrial relations in 40 years.

Let’s up the wages & conditions but let’s up the output too more money for no productivity = no manufacturing or car industry. We have already priced ourselves of the global market we can’t compete

It ain’t perceived been working it on and of for 3 years now I’m working doing the exactly same job causal for less money than I was earning 10years ago no loading no equal pay with co workers 50hour weeks before OT kicks super not being paid liberal party ideals in action.

Perceived, again no hard facts to show it’s rampant.

Good - Long overdue. Wage suppression is a big problem for Australia. auspol

Women won't be safe

Will Skynews describe John Setka as ‘Convicted criminal John Setka’? He has committed many acts of violence. Why the double standard over Cotterell and Erikson?

Fake news.

Unions- All criminals!

Ruperts spin doctors working overtime on this one

It's all a beat up. You have to get permission to go on strike these days. I don't see FairWork giving permission for this. But I would support it if it goes ahead.

If your a contractor and company closes over Xmas. You don't get paid. Is there a difference to this than US Govt workers in shutdown. No! But Aussie contractors suffer every Xmas.

Let the campaign begin.

vote for the cfmeu sponsored labor

It has been revealed? Or maybe you’re making it up. Unions face big fines for striking

He'll have plenty of time to organize it from his jail cell.

sallymcmanus here is test of your leadership. Rather than go on strike Ynot spend week educating the media and public on the conduct of LHF. Promote a policy position which exclude LH from the employment contracts/ leave ability to earn but don’t allow emp/ers escape responsibil

Bet it doesn’t happen. Would be a gift to the government. Shorten will kill it.

Don't put John in the spotlight, choose someone else. Thanks. auspol
