Labor is pretty out of control in Australia right now. Over the past few months, the depth of union corruption in Canberra has become beyond apparent. Unions have utilized extortion, blackmail and improper use of power to rob the ACT, its citizens and Australian taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. The ACT is Canberra, Australia’s labor governing body (similar to our DOL) and much of the blame for all of this corruption is falling on them. For many, it has more to do with incompetence than guilt. 
Expect some changes to be made. Many Australians are pushing for an Independent Commission Against Corruption division. Additionally, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a warning to all corporate executives involved with unions. The message? We’re watching you. In other news, transportation strikes remain prevalent across the globe. Earlier this month, Aegean, a Greek airline, cancelled 19 flights due to a four-hour work stoppage; 4 unions shut down the London Underground; and a Jerusalem light rail service was held up due to worker strikes.
