Union up to their old tricks (part 2)

Hear them cry:

'Let us strike over climate change'

Unions are moaning for the right to stike over "climate change", and are pushing for industrial laws to allow this travesty to happen.

ACTU president Sharan Burrow said that the unions are looking into the new enterprise-bargaining laws, and whether they're broad enough.

"Right now, (we're) not sure, but we want to look at the detail to see that it meets the test of a modern workplace," she told academics and students in Sydney today.

"How short-sighted is it of employers to say: `Oh, we don't want workers to go on strike about carbon-reduction solutions.'

"You'll say: `Well hang on, this is probably pretty important to your business and to the planet and to the working environment of workers.'

"We'll continue to push on that front."

Wonderful stuff Sharan. We need more strikes, especially about issues like "climate change". I wonder if she even knows what " man made climate change" is? I know about 31,072 scientists who actually believe there is no convincing evidence that the human release of carbon dioxide, or other greenhouse gases, will ever cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disrupt the Earth's climate
