This is what I am affraid of but how much more taxpayers money do they need? Even Ford has now asked the gov for R&D money beyond 2016 for all the desingers and engineers! To me its about investing in fuel saving technologies while still allowing large size cars to be driven in Oz......The only reason they get away with it in the U.S is because the fuel is still cheap. I love the Falcon on LPG because there pretty cheap to run (apart from recent LPG price rises!) And you can chuck a loaded trailer or caravan on it anytime you want so theyre a very 'versatile' car.
Im with you, not sure if anyone has seen this but reading it gives an insight into the culture of the place. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opi...l-holden-engine/story-fnkdypbm-1226779253154# I had a mate that worked there and he was getting paid double at Holdens when compared to his previous and post Holden employment. He actually used to screw a fellow employee at work and they all thought it was hilarious when the 2 of them would duck off for a mid-afternoon shag. How anyone can feel sorrow for these people is beyond me. They have lived at the expense of others for years and its time to pay the piper.
Well I like unions because they do fight for job security but when it goes this far and workers are getting paid double and then all the penalty rates and other BS its no wonder.......Redundency packages are great too but not in the 300-500k mark for gods sake! In simple terms its the tax payer handouts paying for these workers to stay employed!
:lol: Unions are a frgn joke , they claim to "be there to help you " They are in bed with the big multinationals A hangover from the communist party Same BS as poli's
SA will be fine. Everyone will just work aged care - we have about 20 years of Baby Boomers to milk while someone comes up with a solid plan.
Say goodbye , it's just being announced The General is leaving in 2017 Typical big business / politicians Say one thing & do the opposite , just like the maggot singing [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNL3xhxGpK8[/youtube]
CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!! Bye bye Holden. And no more HSV factory to work at anymore for $21 hr casual thankgod! p.s wots wrong with Midnight Oil Spanner?
the bald guy is a hypocrite, used to have respect for him Now I'd just want to run him over with a lawnmower ( with blunt blades )
Applied for those jobs a few years ago Unless your surname is either Jones or Smith NO LOOK IN There's your unions at work
1948, I remember it well. I used to drool over the Holdens of the 1950s, and dream about owning one. I was 27 before i got my first car, a 1948 AUSTIN A40! OC
Your saying thank god there is one less place for you to work at? I thought you were keen to work? Any job would be better than no job would it not?
They call rdo's whenever they like and send you home for a day off one week and another the next week....Oh and they whinge when they run out of cars to fix and you have to stand around twidling your thumbs........no thanks! And who needs watercooled supercharging on a 6.2 litre V8's anyways.....The speed limit is only 100 k's! The only way owners can afford these cars is through the Fringe Benefits Tax system anyways.....CEO's, Managers, Accountants.
You are right, you are probably better of on centerlink benefits than working for them. I have to say the more I read what you write the more you remind me of my ex wife lol.
I am sure they thought the same thing about you ... after all they fired your bum arse Get a job and KEEP IT
