If your assuming I am being vindicative towards tradies who should of being making hay over the past years? NO. I am making a point about changing market conditions and "smart" people moving with those conditions.

My point about minimum wage is when the work dries up (assuming their is still dribs and drabs of work) the guys who ensured their work book was full should do better than those holding out for long gone rates - and thus only able to work for minimum wage (or unskilled work given their trade is out of demand).
