Mangled Thoughts

Next to reducing some of the unemployment, to the extent the new arrangments still impose constraints, employers now have some leeway to get rid of thugs.

Sacked workers ‘may have case’

29mar06

EIGHT unionists sacked by a Melbourne company as new labour laws came into force could have a case for unlawful dismissal, the Federal Government said today.
The National Union of Workers and the ACTU allege the workers were sacked because of their union membership or union activities.

It’s not a matter of union membership, if unions were simply no more than as any other association - including businesses, fully under the rule of law. It’s `the activities’ which has been the problem. It’s not simply a matter of employers either, but non-union employees who have suffered at the hands of union thuggery. It get’s down to the old IRC regime which paced unions above the rule of law. Firms still have troubles with unions trying to penetrate their businesses, which, if a union is successful, it’s the beginning of the troubles as it were. So much trouble enough firms have eliminated the problem and shut down.

There is another problem. Premises are private property, the notion that unions have some special right to enter private property is rubbish, but it is warose in some companies who are forced by govt. to also supply office space for union thugs. Why? It
’s a problem too under bracks many stalinist decrees which has asserted more `right’ of entry for entry by the 1govt.’ onto private property, under such Acts as the 2004 OH&S ACT and the goons called `inspectors’ are, surprise, surprise union thugs engaged as `OH&S Inspectors’.

The rubbish the ALP and the ACTU are shouting to the sky and into the sewers, employers will engage in an orgy of sackings, is just rubbish. Freedom to sack employees who prove unsuitable, and sacking worse, thugs, is hardly a malevolent conspiracy cooked up by employees. Yet it touches on another problem, the freedom to hire and fire whomever an employer has been undermined by not only `unfair dismissal laws’ but also `anti-discrimnation laws’.

Discrimination, is a fundamental everday act, as one has put before, it is essential to getting on with life in reasonable order. The notion that it is a criminal offence to exercise discrimination on anything, not just employment, and thus has to be proscribed, is the real crime perpetrated by politicians who were preceded by politically correct leftoids.

The `labour laws’ is repalced administrative order for the old club of gangsters the IRC, rather thna leaving just to free markets and common law. That explains why Kevin Andrews is also prone to bilge:

Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews said if the ACTU claim was correct, the eight men could have a case for unlawful dismissal against Triangle Cables

At bottom, is the right to employ whomever an employer and it is none of any politicians damned business.

The capriciousness of subsituting regulation for the rule of common law shows up in this sort of rubbish too:

A firm with 100 employees and below is exemped from the `unfair dismissal laws’. Firms with over 101 employees plus are subject to the full force of the rotten decree, besides all the rotten employment decrees the States’ socialisto politicians have rained down upon the heads of employers.

Understandably, firms might well `restructure’ to get another odious decree off their backs, the `unfair dismissal law’.

The left, of course, are fond of depicting employers as vicious, cruel, oppressors of employers. Well, there might well be some who are unpleasant but, employees tend to walk out on them. In so far as there are, so what, employees are not bound to them as serfs, they are free to tell an unpleasant employer, `I quit, you are a nasty bastard, I’m off to work for Harry down the road. Good riddance.’ Employees do it, freequently, not because the employer is nasty, they just don’t like the job, the firm, whatever and go elsewhere. Employers, more-over, do rather a great deal for employees as opposed to unions.

Employers give employees a start, the opportunity to learn things and acquire higher order competency of great value to firms,pay them earnings or- rather customers do through firms. What do unions do, union officials enjoy a high life by exacting `fees’ and `fringe benefits’ and work hard to ensure employees loose jobs and so earnings and ssut firms down. It’s a pretty good incentive for employees to request of employers to sack union thugs and that is never mentioned in the leftoid dominated medja, it’s not just hirers, but the hired who are keen to get rid of such criminal extortionists. Kevin Andrews should mind his own bloody business, the company is in the right, in common law, and is serving the real interests of why that firm is in business and those of its employees by shoving out onto the streets right rotten thugs.
