Aldi market themselves cleverly but in reality are no better, and in some instances worse, than Coles and Woollies. 

A friend of my son worked there years ago and his account of the wages and conditions was very different from the PR, not to mention a huge amount of their goods are of foreign origin.


They pay about 70 cents an hour more than Coles and Woolworths, but I'm not so sure they treat the employees any better.

They're staunchly anti-union too.


No bad thing, that.



If you're in favour of workers being treated like animals, sure.




Emoting, over the top BS. This is not Chaplin's Modern Times, turd.

The truckles union is threatening strike action, disrupting vaccine distribution, because they don't want to be treated like animals, eh?? No. They are opportunistic and bloody minded.  Why? because most unions have been captured by a ridiculous Marxist-Leninist mind-set and operatives.



Lol   Grin

The unions are against the strike action.

You are lying as fluently and unblinkingly as ever, turd.



The Transport Workers Union (TWU) said "crisis talks" over a new enterprise bargaining agreement with Toll collapsed yesterday.

As a result, it said, 7,000 truck drivers would strike for 24 hours on Friday.

The strike means there will be disruptions across a wide range of industries, including retail and beverage.

The TWU said more than 15,000 truck drivers in total could go on strike due to talks between the union and five major transport companies, including Toll, collapsing during negotiations over new enterprise bargaining agreements.

Your ABC.

Yes, now I think back the kids main complaint was  the shift system. No minimum hours, split shifts and being sent home at short notice if the manager decided there was not enough work at the moment.

Yes, they can do that with casuals (not part-time or full-time staff though).

If a casual is rostered on for 6 hours, but things gets quiet after 3, they can be sent home and only paid for the 3 hours.

And yes, there are no minimum hours for a casual - just a minimum shift of 3 hours.

They can go weeks without work.

Exactly. We can import Pakis to do it at half the price.

Sorry, dear boy, "noble Pakis". We need to use the correct terminology, no?

Are they,  laffin' boy:


Thousands of Toll truckies to walk off the job across Australia amid crisis talks
Thousands of fed up Australian truck drivers will walk off the job today causing more turmoil for the nation’s Covid-hit delivery network.





Who's for strike, if the unions are against it?
The Transport Workers’ Union earlier claimed the decision to take action was made after Toll “refused to withdraw its attack on jobs, rights and entitlements at crisis talks” on Tuesday.

For these bastards it's fundamentalist ideological class war every day.

The union advised the workers against taking strike action.

However, seeing as the truck drivers (union members) are the ones who pay the union's wages the union made an application for a protected action ballot on their behalf.

It was initiated by the workers, not the union.

Strike action is always decided by union members. Idiotically, you are trying to make out that the union and union members are two separate things.

Aldi market themselves cleverly but in reality are no better, and in some instances worse, than Coles and Woollies. 

A friend of my son worked there years ago and his account of the wages and conditions was very different from the PR, not to mention a huge amount of their goods are of foreign origin.


They pay about 70 cents an hour more than Coles and Woolworths, but I'm not so sure they treat the employees any better.

They're staunchly anti-union too.


No bad thing, that.



If you're in favour of workers being treated like animals, sure.




Emoting, over the top BS. This is not Chaplin's Modern Times, turd.

The truckles union is threatening strike action, disrupting vaccine distribution, because they don't want to be treated like animals, eh?? No. They are opportunistic and bloody minded.  Why? because most unions have been captured by a ridiculous Marxist-Leninist mind-set and operatives.



Lol   Grin

The unions are against the strike action.




Are they,  laffin' boy:


Thousands of Toll truckies to walk off the job across Australia amid crisis talks
Thousands of fed up Australian truck drivers will walk off the job today causing more turmoil for the nation’s Covid-hit delivery network.





Who's for strike, if the unions are against it?
The Transport Workers’ Union earlier claimed the decision to take action was made after Toll “refused to withdraw its attack on jobs, rights and entitlements at crisis talks” on Tuesday.

For these bastards it's fundamentalist ideological class war every day.


The union advised the workers against taking strike action.

However, seeing as the truck drivers (union members) are the ones who pay the union's wages the union made an application for a protected action ballot on their behalf.

It was initiated by the workers, not the union.





As I said many times before, you are lying fluently and effortlessly.

https://www.twu.com.au/companies/toll/toll-protected-action/


As I've explained to you, the union made an application for a protected action ballot on behalf of their members.

The union advised against it, but at the end of the day they're there to do what their members want.

The decision to strike was made by the workers, not the union.

Not sure why you're struggling to understand this.

Strike action is always decided by union members. Idiotically, you are trying to make out that the union and union members are two separate things.



Sometimes:

a) the union recommends a strike, even when the members may seem reluctant to take such action or are unsure what to do.

b) the members want to strike, but the union advises against it.

In this situation, it was scenario 'b'.

The Union advised its members not to strike, and that they would instead continue to fight the company (sue them) through the courts.

The members, however, said they would rather strike.

So, the Union acted on their members' behalf and applied for a protected action ballot.

And yes, the elected Union officials and the members are two different things.

Yes, now I think back the kids main complaint was  the shift system. No minimum hours, split shifts and being sent home at short notice if the manager decided there was not enough work at the moment. 


Yes, they can do that with casuals (not part-time or full-time staff though).

If a casual is rostered on for 6 hours, but things gets quiet after 3, they can be sent home and only paid for the 3 hours.

And yes, there are no minimum hours for a casual - just a minimum shift of 3 hours.

They can go weeks without work.





... and they're STILL counted as "employed' - in the official monthly unemployment figures

Which makes me a little suspicious as from where the great advocate of workers rights, cynic of Frydenberg's jobs' figures - and Aldi's greatest flag-waver is REALLY coming from ?
