Queuing for Union Benefits

These folk are essentially out of work due to "downsizing" and in some cases Union action. They are queueing here at the union office to get some kind of benefit. A lot of these folk are from the mines where recent strike action has caused closure, as well as some metal working companies which went bankrupt due to strike action.

The union leaders keep their jobs and feed their families, drive in BMW or Mercedes made cars and live in expensive suburbs, while the people who paid them starve.

Bummer. Takes courage or stupidity - you decide


"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage." Ralph Waldo Emerson
