.. Not that I know or understand anything about THIS dispute - however Tech's general comments regarding unionism are typical of the union-smashing 1980s ..

The Australian government is desperately trying to crush the union movement here in order to drive down conditions and wages, and destroy collective bargaining.. Why would they bother if unions were irrelevant??

I can't speak for your situation but here, unions are the bulwark against blatant attacks on labour rights.
