A reminder why you should never join a union

In fairness not all unions are like this lot of crazies.

If I wasn't in an industry that has had a long history of strong unionism, I would not be in the position I am now of having bought a house within 6 years of starting

Unions fight for their members in ways that no one else will

He has had some doozeys in his time but this is right up there.

I worked on a building site whilst at uni, I was in a union for those 2-3 years, didn’t dawn on me I have the union to thank for being able to buy my first home

The club has had to deal with 2 govts, 3 councils, ridiculous NIMBYS and the end result we are going to have a great facility on the edge of town.

Fairs fair. You are right. The positive on all this is we will have a state of the art facility.
