Im in the marine constuction industry where i come into contact with contractors from overseas. I can tell you i make triple what most of these guys make. How long is it going to be before we outsource my job. Don't get me wrong ive been in a union all of my working life, but where is the line between Australian jobs or cheaper overseas contractors. Tony( buggie smuggler) Abbot looks like he wants to go with the socialist state or even a dictatorship. Not a major fan of unions because of what they did in the 90's but what other avenue is there.
