Ian asked the question: “How can unions tackle the lack of training and development that many of Australia's biggest corporations now seem to avoid by insisting that the skills gap can only be filled by skilled overseas workers?”

Ian commented on Charlie's question: “Unions aren't against casuals and never have been. It's disappointing such dishonest nonsense is posted. If unions didn't care about casuals why then have they spent years and years trying to stop it's over-use and abuse. Lots of unions have worked hard to arrest the attacks on workers' rights due to employers increasingly outsourcing and casualising their workforces. Dumb question.”
