The concept of unions does have its positives, but these thugs/bullies are just using those concepts (union principles) as justification for their behaviour. My thing is this, just because people run unions and preach to stand by union principles, that doesn't give them an unlawful right to do as they please - and use those principles as a justification to do as they please. These bullies and thugs have often acted outside of the law, and they have done so with their 'union' hats on. Its simply not good enough, and surely those who are in support of unions - see this?
Well, yes.
The same applies to any organisation. Its just that politics decrees what organisations get away with illegal/immoral/unethical activities, more than others.
Abbott went at unions tooth & nail. He was quite supportive of one G. Pell.
