Deffs not mad , I got mates who did 4 years of uni running 300-400mjllion dollar sites and the laborer earns more. That's is not a sustainable business model

I think the wages will tumble the pipeline of work is tiny so you will have way more workers than projects so people will bid lower for contracts profit margins get squeezed from top to bottom gold coast is a good example - not a single crane in the sky.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I tend to agree with al here... it happened with chef's over the years. if people are willing to work for less the wages will all eventually crumble. The union's think that industrial action will save them, but in reality it's just a temporary solution and will eventually head the push for more and more sites to use non unionised builders.

Strikes cant last if the strikers aren't getting paid anyway, and people like grollo (who has on many occasions used non union builders) know this. he will just wait. afterall he can afford to lose as much money as it takes during the strike, whereas the builders can not.

You'd be amazed how people will change their moral stance on things like strikes or doing jobs that they feel are beneath them when we tell them they have 31 days before we foreclose on their house.

people like accountants etc that eat at successful restaurants regularly and see the owners strutting around eating, drinking having a good time etc get very misled about the hospitality industry.

They think that their office jobs are "long hours" and "tiring" that owning a restaurant will be an awesome lifestyle change, and it is, but only by the 1940's definition of awesome. :rofl:

In reality they spend their life savings on a poorly thought out restaurant, spend the next 3 years doing 100 hour weeks and stressing like they have never stressed before, and then losing everything when the place closes down.

end of the day, it's a VERY small margin of new restaurants that even survive, let alone do well.

Hospitality in Melbourne is the pure definition of an over saturated market. If you find a new niche and exploit it at the right moment, it IS possible to make serious money, but it's HARD work and very unlikely.

I know Ash probably doens't want to read this but unfortunatley it's how it is.

Ash, if you need any advice on this, you have my number

Bovis Lend Lease (I'm working on an LL site) held out for about a week, then they caved.

Grocon held on a bit longer but they gave in as well

exactly... it's just not possible unless you are managing to have money come in while you are striking...

also we are talking about people that run like little girls at the first sign of a few drops of rain... how much resolve can they really have? :P

You seem to be misunderstanding...

The builders caved, the CFMEU won the fight against Bovis, and Grocon backflipped accepting the talks that they turned down a few weeks earlier because they didn't think the strike would last.

I'll happily work in the rain, if it's safe to do so, but our EBA says we don't have to, so we don't. Morons take that as being soft.

Nice! What's the plan or can't reveal much at this stage?

As for tradies I rkn they are in a massive pay bubble cannot see long term sustainability of the wages, more so commercial sites

All will be revealed shortly.

Still a bit of legal to finish off - it's a good thing, a lot of homework has been done.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
