The News we'd like to know
A partly published letter following 'What the Media won't tell you" (Richard Walsh, the Melbourne AGE).
For example higher wages sought by workers are almost always given as a percentage, with no information about existing minimum or maximum rates. They could be greedy if they want an extra 20% on wages of $20 per hour, or on professional pay of $1000 per hour, but it is surely not greedy to ask for $10 per hour to be raised to $12. Many people are still paid around $4 per hour or even less.In all major industrial disputes, both sides should be given prominently at least 250-500 words to put their case in their own words.
