Modern Australian trade unionism and the unionist that I am doesn't rely on a class war view that somehow that the interests of employees and managers are in two separate spheres and they're irreconcilable.

This is the future of Australian workplaces.

You know, equality is a myth, and for some reason, everyone accepts the fact that women don't make as much money as men do. I don't understand that. Why do we have to take a backseat?

I think people who are unhappy are always proud of being so, and therefore do not like to be told that there is nothing grand about their unhappiness.

When you tell people that happiness is a simple matter, they get annoyed with you.
