The part about them being union workers doesn’t super matter. They were on full-time contracts* and Australia doesn’t have at-will employment.

There’s something morally wrong with it when you use it as an excuse to pay those workers significantly less. As well, jobs likely were lost, outsourced contracts rarely have the same rights, including leave entitlements, for their workers.

Unemployment needs to jump 40-50%??? Is this guy seriously that utterly disconnected with reality? In Aus it’s never hit more than 12% in the last 4 decades, the economy would just collapse if unemployment got that high. It only got to 32% during the Great Depression in the US.

The profit expectations the company itself sets also play a big part of it as well I think. When a company says they’ll be really profitable, but it’s only very profitable, everybody loses their shit.

All good! I think it’s important to understand the obscene difference between a million and a billion dollars so I always try to point it out just in case.

There is a big distinction between multi-million and multi-billion companies that needs to be pointed out here.

As a trans woman who grew up being taught boys don’t cry, it’s taken me the better part of 6 years to learn how to connect with my emotions healthily. I’m so sorry that society treats y’all like this. 💜

I adore VOY: The 37s. Janeway and Earheart have a really great character arc.
