Power Raid
We Exist To Win Premierships
I agree on the CFMEU, totally.
I don't believe it's a fable at all. Big multinationals use their money, power and influence to get what they want, corrupt unions use standover tactics and thuggery to get what they want. If unions had the funds and influence of the multinationals they would use them instead of the other tactics. At the end of the day, they will use whatever arsenal is available to them.
If the benefit went back to the workers then that argument is reasonable. If they just pocket it then its just a crime.
