In the position I hold here in the Federal Government there is no union.

Jeanine,

Why not? 

Unions in Australia were originally formed to protect the interests of
workers. Their two main goals were worker's compensation and worker
safety, and the right to be paid for overtime.

Sometimes I wonder whether the unions have lost the plot, but overall
they are a good counter-balance to the big corporations who are driven
by shareholders' interests.

That's why we have unions. Firstly to ensure that we are all treated as
humans!!

Well, I suppose I must accept that a certain Lab director has long ago
blackballed me from working in Histology, at least, in my area.  Guess
that's what one gets from rebelling against being so stressed out from
excessive periods of short staffing and temps.  Working long hours,
weekends, on call then being written up for taking advantage of the
overtime.  Oh well, tis life.  I wish this individual great success in
weeding out the bad Apple's as myself and others that just can't take
the pressure.  I hope she never succumbs to such an ordeal in her job.
   
  Signing off.  You all stay strong and hang in there.
   
  No since continuing this membership.
