of their own making? residences are in view. It’s alleged the cameras can capture face recognition at 200 meters. If that’s the case it may also be easy for Holland’s to sit a lip-reading expert down in front of the vision to decipher what workers are privately discussing. Once you install this sort of hi-tech surveillance it is open to all types of exploitation. Undoubtedly the most pressing issue on the site revolves around pay disparity where workers doing the same jobs under various contractors are not getting the same pay. It should be equal work for equal pay. If companies put in cheap prices to win tenders they shouldn’t expect the workers to subsidise them. EBA sites are more productive, safer and quality built. Look at a couple of recent examples such as C2 and Fiona Stanley. There is no reason why Holland’s can’t look at ‘whole of site EBA’s’ – our door is always open. It should be equal work for equal pay. If companies put in cheap prices to win tenders they shouldn’t expect the workers to subsidise them. To keep workers in or unions out? Eureka flag briefly flies on site (ripped down after 15 minutes - who’s being childish?) You don’t have to be Einstein to work it out. Construction Worker – Autumn 2013 Page 7 CFMEU
U N I O N N E W S with Steve McCann Will the bosses tear safety down? Bosses tear down a lot of union posters. But our safety posters aimed at getting workers home safe deserve better. Will the bosses tear it down? If they do, it will tell you something about their attitude to safety and how they value your life and your family…here’s our new safety poster series …let’s hope it’s kept up in the shed to remind everyone that safety is important. NOTE: If you don’t have these safety posters on your site already and would like some just ask your CFMEU Area Organiser to bring some out. Spot ‘Scaffy’ CAN YOU SPOT ‘SCAFFY’ THE DOG? Scaffy is lost in the journal, please try and find him. Inside this and every issue of the journal from now on we’re hiding ‘Scaffy’ the CFMEU wonder Dog. He’s a bit like ‘Where’s Wally’, can you spot him? Here’s in here somewhere. If you spot him don’t tell your workmates, tease them, drive them mad on his whereabouts. Take a bet in the lunch shed on the first to spot ‘Scaffy.’ Let your kids try and spot him. We’ll announce where he was hiding in each following issue on Pete’s page. Here Scaffy …here boy! By the way he’s paid up and pound - umm, we mean proud! Construction Worker – Autumn 2013 Page 9 CFMEU
