    Working for the Dept of TAFE in New South Wales I know how workchoices negotiation works. In 2006 myself & many other employees of TAFE were served notice of an AWA, we were told by the federal government that we had to sign an AWA immediately & if the numbers of people were not right according to the governments wishes as to the amount to sign an AWA then funding arrangements for TAFE New South Wales would be slashed.

    We can only blame the d!ckheads who elected this creature to be our PM. Idiots, lots of them in our country.

    Lets only hope that this time around we are a smarter bunch of people and collectively vote howard and his rights removalist team out.

    AWA's were introduced to do exactly that, remove your rights, and if you dont like it bad luck! Lets give Howard the bad luck this time around.

    Vote Labor

    He is one of a many. And one of millions to come, if Howard gets back in.

    Remember leave loading is not one of the protected conditions.

    If you think workers are not worth anything.. Vote in Howard.

    If not vote Rudd!!

    costello made it abundantly clear in a meeting with business interests last year that they would be forcing through further cuts in working conditions after this election.

    The liberals are, as they have always been, intent on the destruction of unions or any possibility of workers having any say whatsoever in their workplace.
