work choices

work choices

The government that made it easier for employers to sack people and harder for unions to exist, under the monicker of ‘work choices’ was voted down in a recent election.

I am not even sure whether this poster is one from the Government, the unions, or a satirical artwork pasted over the top of one of those… grey area… well this image is one that sums up what I think of most people’s choice of what they call ‘work’.

The premise that we must flagellate ourselves and each other in the name of ‘productivity’, by for example housing entire communities in giant, ecologically disastrous warehouses and bonding them to cold-call people who do not even want to buy the f*ing useless shampoo, should not need me to comment. What is going on in your heads, people? For me, this image sums up the situation.
