Letters to the Editor Name and Shame
I, as a fully paid up, voting member of the ALP, honestly believe that the current IR changes (WorkChoices et al), are an attempt to return Australian Workers to the economic prosperity they enjoyed prior to the 1890's. Therefore I suggest that the ALP and the Unions adopt a similar policy. All unions should retreat from being incorporated, licensed participants in Industrial Relations (This would absolve them of the majority of penalties which they could otherwise incur). They should instead re-register as employee advocates for OH&S, thus allowing for multi-industry strikes (even general strike action) without incurring any penalties. Moreover, I suggest a return to the identification of SCABS, with clandestine action once so identified. In order to facilitate this it will be necessary for any person involved to be a member of the ALP, in order that they may not be culpable for incitement of rioting, or of sedition. I also propose that any employer that takes lockout action should be identified, and the name, address and pictures of them, their family and their business be published on a website for all to view (if any take action on the base of this, be it upon their own head). Remember comrades, strikes were illegal for a long time, let 'em do it if they wish - they simply need to be reminded why s.51(xxxv) was inserted into the Constitution to begin with. Troy Small
