The Marketing of Mr Rudd - Unions

'Brand Labor' are fortunate to have the support of the vast majority of the union movement, men and women at the grass roots, and at the heart of our countries prosperity, to assist the parliamentary party develop policy.

However I question the commitment of 'Brand Labor' to understand the importance of this resource and work, seriously in policy formation.

The union movement should not be sidelined by 'Brand Labor' as it pushes for government, hopefully later to be handed the spoils of government, like scraps to a dog.

Unions deserve better, unions know better.

Doug Cameron AMWU national secretary in particular understands that good policy debate can lead to a better society.
He want’s a good fair society, not the current dog eat dog society, further he is doing something about it, the AMWU along with four other progressive unions are taking the debate to the Labor Part's national conference next month.

The policy debate, stop the poor getting poorer and rich getting richer aims to change Australia's pro-market, neo-liberal economic direction, is to be recommended and supported by all voters of all political persuasions.
Of course there is the usual opposition from the Wright of the political spectrum to even having the progressive debate, sadly though current opposition leader Mr. Rudd is opposed to aspects of the proposal, which ultimately will lead to a greatly diminished debate, if at all.

I have said it before, 'Brand Labor' - it's the policy stupid.

The small group of marketers and advisors to Mr. Rudd and Mr. Rudd himself must be required to engage the union's not only for the financial resources it provides but for its ideas, its passion, and its vision for a fairer society.

I still don’t think Mr. Rudd is the correct candidate, but I hope he listens when told that Australian unions are justifiably proud of there record in Australia's history and deserve the respect to be heard, because they could be the key to your political success.
