Many of the things we hold dear as Australians in our working life no matter who we work for can be linked back to somebody somewhere saying 'Enough is enough' and getting together with fellow workers to change it.

If we still had work choices bosses would be knocking hundreds off of all our pay packets to 'stay competitive'. This would only result in a race to the bottom leading to decent bosses winning no work and scum making all the profit.
