Default Re: Victorian nurses strike

Yes you are right Eric by Australian law they are open to prosecution...that grab bag of nonsense BTW is the bastard child of Thatcherite non-governance in UK back in the 80's........how can it be illegal to withdraw labour?

Load of manure IMO........if I'm in dispute with my employer on a point of principle (IMO obviously!) and the arbitration system fails me (IMO again) then I should have the right in a so called democracy to withdraw my labour...if not then whats the difference between my employment relationship and that of a bonded slave??
