More holidays its great here
Come on Mr Bush hurry up my golf needs improving could with a few days off might help, thank god I am in the union.
WA UNIONS have promised a campaign of Statewide industrial action the minute a military strike is launched on Iraq.
The anti-war stance - to involve more than 75,000 workers from nine key unions - will go ahead even if the United Nations backs the attack.
It will be coordinated by UnionsWA but each affiliate will choose its own form of industrial action, expected to include strikes and rallies.
Unions representing construction, manufacturing, schools, finance and hospital workers agreed on the plan yesterday.
They also sought urgent talks with the State Government over the use of Fremantle port by American warships and WA's possible role in a war.
Their decisions are due to be ratified by the UnionsWA executive next week but assistant secretary Dave Robinson said the positions, which came from a strong depth of feeling, were unanimous.
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union secretary Jock Ferguson said the unions did not support the Iraqi regime but believed all avenues should be exhausted "before we condemn tens of thousands of working people in Iraq to the horrors of war".
