SOLG, page-38

Yeah Im on the right thread Barrelscraper. I provide enough relevant info regards SOLG/DHR/ANW/IRR to be able to take a little detour with this particular issue. This effects many but basically the industry has not the wherewithal to even gather the data. (Read the info in the link)

My complaint was straightforward i.e - provide people with the ability to better structure their lives. In doing so support employment processes which actually help the industry regulate costs. (If you have to lay off a worker registered on the books you have to pay redundancy etc- a massive cost to an employer). Instead of taking the smart pragmatic proactive, inexpensive and fair option (they can have people on contract for up to 10 years - with no stipulated flexability- outrageous) the likes of RioTinto will wait till the unions get hold of it and the whole industry will suffer as a result, having to pay dissproportiante payouts as needlessly disgruntled employees take them to court.

Basically I have very little power to exact what is a very reasonable outcome in my situation with Rio Tinto despite what I believe to be my sensible arguments.

Despite taking this up with the fairwork ombudsmen (an organisation as toothless as asic and as useless as a banking committee) nothing will be done, in truth is their is more possibilty in getting a positive outcome by posting this here, some bean counter might figure it out.

On a periodic basis I will re-state my desire that if Rio Tinto wants SOLG there is a premium. A premium on the premium.

That is what I desire as a shareholder.

Anyone who is sick of my bleatings, or who simply disagrees with my ramblings put me on ignore.

As a side note I should mention my complaints had no duel objectives. I was not looking to be restated or for any financial renumeration. They pay reasonably well, I actually feel if this was a personal slight I would have walked away and never looked back.
