12th August - Ambos, Hazelwood Emergency workers & Dinosaurs in Canberra

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 01:40:00 08/15/09
Congratulations to the AEA and members, who just before this went to air have reached an agreement with Ambulance Victoria. This story looks at their march to the offices of the Premier last week. We follow up with Dave Kerin and worker Mick Tratford, from the CFMEU Mining & Energy div, about the ongoing dispute over pay and conditions for emergency responce crews working at Australia's dirtiest power plant - Hazelwood. And finally, dinosaurs were spotted roaming around Canberra last week. (Well, it was time for Parliament to resume sitting) The Southern Cross Climate Coalition launched their Climate Change Dinosaurs campaign. (Who knew that dinosaurs had so much dexterity with their middle finger, too?)

On tonights Union Show we look at the ambo’s campaign for longer rest breaks and better pay, which we covered a year ago and we look back over the campaign to find that the state government and Amublance Victoria have not moved forward. This is even after a leaked email last week from management states that their position is not sustainable. We also take a look at one of Melbourne’s most progressive radio stations – 3CR and we drop in on the Solidarity Breakfast team of Lisa Farrance and Dan Archer. Lisa and Dan have a chat about the 3CR, the program and the importance of supporting a true alternative and independant media voice in the face of unrelenting conservative media bias.

More spin than a top from the media queen of telecommunications, Telstra have been planning an employer lead non-union collective since February - for bargaining with themselves? Presumably. Meet the Special People. The paramedics shine in any light as extraordinary human beings among us - so why do they have to work on 5 hours sleep a night? And how come so little pay for so much responsibility? How is it again that the corporate execs get paid how much? TAFE teachers could go out on the tools for $80-120K/annum. What the hell are they doing teaching TAFE for $11/hr? Go to the stopwork meeting 10am August 20 (tomorrow) at the Athenaeum Theatre cnr Collins and Swanston Streets Melbourne City to find out why. There's also the news. Rio Tinto, Cochlear, Blue Glue, Sth Korean Trade Union leaders jailed.
