American Workers Give Aussies Bleak View
Wed 01 Aug 2007 – 16.06
Three low-paid American workers have travelled to Australia to tell Aussies about the dangers of non-unionised working conditions, and to scare them into a better future by avoiding the whole poor-workers-in-a-rich-country thing that has many Americans by the bollocks.
The three Americans were an example of what Australians could expect in the future… Australia is becoming more and more like the United States and these workers are here to tell us how hard it is to be a low paid worker in a rich country … they provide a warning that life could get a lot tougher for Australian working families if the Liberals are re-elected and they make further unfair changes to the IR laws.
That’s funny because here in the States it’s the exact opposite where the conservatives, not the liberals, are the ones promoting the free-for-all economy (at the expense of workers). Ok, no politics on this site, just pointing this out as a commentary on American working life.
