Dont know this character,must of hid his political career well!But anyone that then tries running a union,unless he got there easy,because the vote was desperately Labor,initially may of been well motivated.Having been unemployed for so long,Victorians need new approaches,rather than the slowly sinking,who stop those going up to.Surely his made enough money now,try being a small farmer,business person,or on a hospital board,where many losing workers find themselves regrettably.The gift of the gab in another setting unrelated may get his soul back.Life is worth a try,if you have been on the higher rungs.Or return to work..pick Brussel sprouts!

Steve, Seems the dogs youve been sleeping with are about to turn and bite you. Never mind the fleas, I have a suggesstion for you. Why dont you start collecting resignations, from disgruntled members who were on payroll deduction. Dont process them and just before the next election make a big show of getting your organisers to do change of address collections on site, slip the heap of unporocessed resignations in with this lot before the roll goes to the AEC. Then nobody will be the wiser!! Oh maybe this isnt such a good idea cause what if somebody twigged and started collecting statements? No forget this suggestion. Perhaps you should meet your mates again at that little coffee shop ciampini espresso on little lonsdale near chisolm place. You are very photegenic Steve!!!

There is no 550 jobs going from Boeing Victoria to NSW, only one project. Boeing Hawker de Havilland NSW is currently up for sale as it seems Boeing is no longer committed to its future any.It would help if you got it right rather than rely on second hand inaccurate info from other media sources or your boss informers. Your Credibility score is zero! As far as us workers are concerned, there isn’t much difference between the Lib’s and the traitors who call themselves the ALP!

It’s time that people in the AMWU know that their union’s “leadership” is in bed with the liberals-nationals coalition. Maybe some of Gargamell’s members in the automotive industry should check out what his BNBF (brand new best friend) Peter Ryan from the National Party has to say about auto tariffs (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/12/2241906.htm)

If you go to bed with dogs, you wake up with fleas…

Gargamell is a nobody going no where. His (rapidly declining) membership clearly see that he is using recent job losses to build his own media profile in a bid to return to Canberra. AMWU members won’t cop it – time’s up Gargamell!

Game on

Doof Dargavel is opposed to tariff cuts, unless they are delivered by people who can get him back his seat in Parliament.
