Two years ago I was closely involved in a workplace death. I was part of what was called the "recovery" team. Nov last year i was summonsed as a witness by safework. Today all charges were dropped. That's whats made me happy. The death was a tragic accident, and I will never forget it or Jorge. I still feel 100% terrible for his family and everyone else affected. I'm happy the blame game is over. To the dead c###s from the union that used this fellas wife as a puppet, F##K YOU.
Don't usually like bad language but in this instance it is justified @growler2058Quote:

Dont need scumbags lying about what was a terrible terrible tragic ACCIDENTQuote:

Nothing better than coming off call and enjoying a few cold ones ! Knowing someone will call at 3am and they can't play Xbox cause their power is out , and won't be ME going out there is an awesome feeling after being on call for a few weeks :)Quote:

It's a good feeling helping people and putting their power back. Especially elderly etc... But , we do cop it all the time from people, due to an outage, a lot of the time not due to our fault. Just the nature of this job...
We've actually been lucky in Vic, no major network issues. Few storms here and there but nothing that hasnt been cleaned up in a few days. Obviously the worst I have worked in was the Black saturday fires and we went up to Canberra in 2003 as well due to fires . That was pretty bad.
In all my time I have seen unions do good things BUT unfortunately what sticks in my memory is the bad stuff they did while I worked on union sites or ran into them as a business owner.Quote:

What bugs me with unions and work cover for that matter they are all experts after something goes wrong, where were they assisting employers and workers making places safer before an accident? They are not always the bosses fault, in fact I don't know any business owner that would put theirs valuable staff at risk - ever.
