While not strictly accurate (like all political propaganda) it's still a disgrace.

There was plenty of industrial action under the previous liberal and labor government's it just wasn't an actual strike.

Last time it was stoppage of trains just before stations to hold everyone up 5-10 mins and throw out all the timing at Flinders st during peak hours which was actually worse than what they are planning now.

They get waaaaay overpaid as it is and it's not like negotiations have broken down to the point where a strike is required.

nope....

Metro are getting the non-unionised (surely that won't be that many) AO's to work that day....

They are just saying it's still free to make the striking workers look like victims and demonise Metro when people get fines.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

No to mention with the clusterf**k that is metro I highly doubt most people will even notice a 4 hour strike lol

I really don't see how this isn't terrorism or sabotage or extortion.

Like, strike and stay at home or picket, but to fk with the system and innocent people's daily lives like that is rat shit.

Only reason medical personnel don't do it is because there are lives at stake but it's okay for these douchebags to cost the economy millions in lost productivity.

I'm sure those graffiti people who stop the trains so they can tag them would get thrown in jail for years for doing effectively the same thing.

I think terrorism is kinda a stretch.... but it's just pathetic.

Where's Simon? I want an update on his politics at work haha

[PENGUYEN]

Probably 10 days living in tokyo shibuya, then 5-6 in osaka.

Visit nara/kyoto whilst staying in osaka.

Visit fuji whilst staying in tokyo, or maybe stay one night in onsen at fuji.

hiroshima dunno.

Might be squeezing korea in for 4 days or so.

I dont think we want to be doing day trips with our luggage... What's wrong with leaving luggage back at accommodation and doing day trips?

Kyoto/nara are 1hour train from osaka. Hiroshima 2.5hr train from osaka (but we might stay in hiroshima for a night or 2)

Fuji is 2hr train from tokyo if we make it a day trip.

Boss left today for a 2 week holiday, then a 4 week working trip visiting distributors around the world...

HR is on a call as we speak to an agency, either to replace me or to get on board in case I do run out the door (even though I've said that I'm not going to) or to get me an assistant to reduce this workload.

Spoke to one of the girls in Accounts about the whole thing and she says that she's seen nothing to indicate I'm about to get let go. She's the one I leaked info to, knowing that she'd tell people... So was very careful in my wording about the whole thing.

We'll see over the next few days I guess... in the meantime, I'm banging out as many tasks as possible and helping out everyone in the office, to counteract the possibility of others planting the seeds of disloyalty...

Unrelated, going out to Bells Hot Chicken for dins with some track day mates. Should be a good time.
