It gets worse than just large companies, these days a sizable proportion of the large companies are OUR super companies...
In regards to QANTAS. Here is a good fact for you 1/5 of the 35000 people who work for then are either striking or not far off. If the unions were not so stupid you would see how incompetent the management is.
I think its utter bullshit that the leprechaun can earn more money than some bank CEO's and the company showed no growth. Shares dropped, no dividends for shareholders, a small profit of 200m compared to banks that were Billions. 1000's of people lost their job so the company actually shrunk.
LTIH that stupid fucking leprechaun and QANTAS. Please drop dead you oxygen thief. Qantas please stop being a stick in the mud, Australia used to love you but you are just out of touch. Please learn how to negotiate with people and listen to the demands of your workers.... After all they are the ones who make the profit happen, as you seen in the last months!
