Tax workers demand union agreement
MELBOURNE — As of October 18, 11,475 employees of the Australian Taxation Office, 53% of all ATO staff, have signed a petition calling on management to negotiate a new agency agreement with the Community and Public Sector Union when the current agreement expires on June 30, 2006. The CPSU organised the petition because of concerns that ATO management, responding to the government's anti-union agenda, would push for a non-union agreement and/or individual contracts.

By now we all know that the rich get richer under capitalism. But many are astounded at the incredible pace this takes place.
