Episode description

Episode 68 of In The Shed is a big one.

Mick and Chris take on the mining lobby, the anti-union hysteria around ETU organising in the Pilbara, and the nonsense being pushed by politicians and commentators who reckon workers asking for fair pay is somehow “wrecking the economy”.

We explain:

• Why workers at BHP and Rio Tinto are organising
• How protected industrial action actually works
• Why mining companies are terrified of unions
• Why Australia gives away its gas and resources while ordinary people struggle
• Why taxing giant gas exporters could pay for housing, health and education

If you are sick of billionaires, lobbyists and politicians telling workers to tighten their belts while profits explode, this episode is for you.
