    Collins makes some good points. I hope in the coming days to see how
    the various Unions word their rebuttal.

    Not mentioned by Collins is whether these offers will stem the flow of
    those with internationally-recognised skills to other countries
    (particularly Australia).

    Thanks for this Crash.

    This is pure diversion, almost as good as Rich has done on occasions in this newsgroup.

    In the past when the Unions and employer got into a stalemate the sides
    battled it out. A third party was never dragged into the dispute. How can
    one take the Unions demands seriously. Palestine is in no way connected to a pay/employment dispute. A gram of thinking is all that is needed to reliase that one has gone off track. Way off.

    If the Unions what to draw attention to other issues they can put that/them
    in a separate protest.

    The woke mind virus could also explain this turn of events.

    I believe it is part of the campaign for the next election, the unions are as usual supporting the left leaning parties and this is how they do it.
