    TREASON :!: STRAIGHT UP :!: Why weren’t the bastard unionists arrested and put on trial for treason? Did Australia have a Labor government then? :twisted:

    It was far worse here during WWII.The only reason there weren’t large official strikes is because the Union leadership was Communist and Hitler attacked Russia.

    If I had been running the show they would have been given a simple choice.Either shut up and work,or go to the frontlines.

      And do you think the rank and file would go along with a strike during war while their sons were at the front?

      • Darin says:

        That was the point of the article I linked to-they did go on strike while they’re sons were at war and they are proud of it.

    Common knowledge and not just Australian unionists placed in a supply chain. The poms got it in the chook too….

    1. WW1: extensive strikes in the coal mines, on the wharves, and at armament factories.
    2. WW2 : see above.

    I vaguely remember hearing the Americans had similar problems in WW2 with “the wakkas”.

    On the other hand, I suspect Stalin never lost a minute’s war production on account of such attitudes and behaviours….

    In Wellington in 1942 the water siders wouldn’t unload the Marine’s equipment because it was raining. The Marines did it themselves. It is claimed that one of the Marines scrawled “wharfies is bastards”on a wall. Fair comment I would have thought. The union hold on shipping at wharves in New Zealand has been eroded and relatively little power is now held.
