Question Re: Who works in the mines and what doing

Is this the same group of people who spent a small fortune argueing against a mining tax, then voice their disapproval of a carbon tax, then go on to post record profits? Have a look @ Rio's last profit announcement. I give up an hour of my time in travel each day to go to work, I lose 1/2 day of my first day's R&R in travel. My fly in day can result in a 15- 16 hour day. Yep, nobody bar my bank manager forces me to do it, but a little credit, recognition for what most of us do in inhospitable conditions would be nice. Most other foreign mineworkers cannot believe the hours we work, on the rosters we work, under the harsh conditions we endure.
