The marketing of Mr. Rudd – balance and fairness in IR, I am the leader, balance is what I deem to be fair, not the Unions Movement.

.

After Mr. Rudd gained unwarranted support on the back of his support to abolish AWA’s from Australia’s IR landscape, he now wants the Australian voter to cop them for 3 more years if he is elected.

One of Labor’s biggest supporters is not being consulted with seriously on IR reform, Mr. Rudd and his ‘Brand of Labor’, the ACTU is not happy with this approach.

The union movement with its proud history of the protection of workers and their family’s rights are standing up to Mr. Rudd on their perception that Rudd has not delivered on getting the balance and fairness right in IR Reform.

Unions understand that there will be pressure to rubber stamp Mr. Rudd’s policy platform at conference in two weeks time, so they are legitimately asking to be consulted prior to the conference so that issues can be discussed and resolved.

Mr. Rudd and Mr. Swan are not keen to compromise on their right wing IR agenda because of ‘Brand Labor’s economic dogma, the market is supreme, which must subordinate any social policy concerns.

Mr. Rudd has underestimated the strength of passion of the union movement, in fact has gone so far recently to suggest that he has never been in the Union, that little lie was later qualified via Rudd’s spokesperson, the union movement is not reliant on the Labor Party for its existence, it relies on its adherence to its values of protecting and recognizing the importance of the individual working person and their family in the profit driven market economy.

Mr. Rudd engage the Australian Union Movement.
