Danny from springy is pushing for Autronic. My new auto elec (who is not from this world) knows mostly people from professional motorsports circles and he recommends products/brands/people that import forums haven't got an opinion on.It's tough from a consumer perspective to read the brochures and opinions and get a feel for how it works and its limitations. I'm wary of tuners who push for certain products because they are distributors.

Before we get high and mighty about keeping the jobs "in Australia" how much per hour is the union also demanding the person holding the go/stop sign gets paid?

Birds Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There's a happy medium in it somewhere, that doesn't involve jobs going offshore. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/21/#findComment-7581339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There should be. Unfortunately unions don't see it this way. It's always "gouge the employers until it's cheaper to offshore" then complain afterwards Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/21/#findComment-7581340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Performance based increases would be nice instead of standardised, negotiated for all rates. Then we know the dude holding the sign would be going the extra mile for his dollars. I don't see how he can lay claim to a pay increase over anything but inflation - it's getting harder and harder to flip that sign 180 degrees.

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It's just pathetic. We got 4% last year and have another 2.5% coming this year for a bunch of people that are already paid above average and get annual bonuses + shares to boot. This was negotiated less than 12 months ago. This isn't good enough for the union however and they are dropping pamphlets around trying to rally people into complaining for more based on our group profits. Its f**king rediculous. I'd rather skip a payrise and keep my job away from the Philippines thanks. This has already happened at other banks and they keep pushing. Unions do NOT just have workers interests at heart.

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I also got another 5% based on my recent promotion. IMHO thats how you should get pay rises.

Odium Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too. Cheaper until you realise that hardly anyone in Australia knows how to tune them, so those who do charge out the butt... or they actually don't know what they're doing and you're up for the cost of a new motor (again).

That's not a viable argument it would be built here under our laws and regulations. Who's the union to stop private enterprise keeping their costs down ?

Omg this shit again. Real estate is un regulated and has been for ages you peanuts. So it has been happening as long as I've been working in it and even longerPeople pay us what they choose to pay and willingly no government or union intervention Try again with your failed arguments, seriously it's embarrassing arguing uneducated points Fwiw it's the Indians who work for fk all but guess what they are rogues do a crap job and the owners get thousands less for their home rather than pay us a couple grand more they 'save' .5% but get $30k less. Smart huh.
