  • Summary

  • In which Benno briefs us on the train wreck that is wage increases being led into a wall by many Australian unions. He'll also talk you through the notable recent example of the Community and Public Sector Union leadership weak campaign to finally secure a above inflation wage rise for Australian federal public servants over ten years of having their wages squeezed. Benno also provides some of his varied unasked-for opinions on how being active in a union and contesting union elections is the way to get unions back on track. Recorded on 11 September.
