EDIT - Go here to discuss it ;

Syk... tell me more about the cmfeu.....how is all the shit at curtis going on with those bloody sooks being a bunch of contract reneging losers?
On a side note ; its a circus.
In Summary;
CMFEU want a 13% pay increase with a 3/1 rosert over the current 4/1 roster.
So Bechtel approved a pay increase of 13% - average joe is on 150k so they say so add 13% and they approved a 3/1 roster but it takes affect much later, not at this point in time and now has to be voted on.
CMFEU are saying this 4/1 roster should change NOW not later as its killing families and suicide is on the rise. (So far 4 FIFO deaths in AUS vs 2500 normal suicides)
Public here think they should shut the fuck up as they signed the agreement ages ago and should suck it up as noone put a gun to their head to work it, and now have a new one to vote on and if they dont like should stop going to the polls and find a new job, this is the third time they are voting, it still wont change as Bechtel keeps putting the same EBA to the table.
CMFEU are having pickets and violent outbursts at anyone trying to go to work.
Examples are smashed car window
my wife got verbally abused
picketlines, on roads trying to blockade, police intervention to move them along.
CMFEU say a 21 day will fix family life. Public opinion is a 13% payrise (More money) and a 21 day roster will not fix family time as you are AWAY 21 days (compared to 28 days - current roster), you will still miss 3 weeks from loved ones, only an 8to5 Mon to Fri job will fix families and relationships and stress.
Politics is being thrown around today, Fair Work has stepped in and is ordering back to work orders.
Its really getting messy.
And funny part is, CMFEU is the only one protesting, all the other unions seem quite happy...... go figure.
