Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?All I can say is Australian corporates are full of blood-thirty vultures, and cowards to the hilt sort of people. They send emails via no-reply addresses when they reject you, they do not pick up calls, they do not give any feedback, they hide behind anonymous curtains ruing lives of scores of innocent citizens and alike, Even people, Prime...

ERMS Blacklist WhatsApp Group Set Up By WattElectricalNewsAfter a decade of frustration and depression type existence, I am relieved to find this. I arrived in 2006 from a big third world country. In 2007 I was hired as an Instrumentation Engineer in Aker Kvaerner after a lot of struggle and was excellent in my work. I found the constant use of F-word related humor in workplace, which I very much...

Chief Scientist Alan Finkel talks up green hydrogen exportsMore of this rubbish - it looks like Finkel has lost his marbles. So Japan wants to become CO2 free by using Australian hydrogen produced by processing brown coal, conveniently a long way away. Let's have a reality check!

World-first coal to hydrogen plant trial launched in VictoriaHydrogen may well be the fuel of the future but processing brown coal to get it is the technology of the century before last. And the idea of CCS in the Bass strait is ludicrous - I suppose we could watch it bubbling up as we catch the ferry to Tasmania, though - it might have some novelty appeal. If this is what is meant by 'technology neutral'...

Pilbara job offers increasing, but applicants on the slideThe main reason for this is recruitment agencies creaming off the earnings of skilled blokes As a result wages have halved would you as a skilled worker work up there for $30 - $40 / hr 3 weeks away from your family, when an unskilled bloke can get $28 / hr in Bunnings. It's nor rocket science guys pay decent wages and the blokes will come...

Beyond robots and foreigners: finding blue-collar Australian jobsVery nice article but failed to address the elephant in the room Its the cost of energy. Why would any energy hungry industry like steel,aluminium or say alloy casting businesses want to do business in Australia. The whole debate about energy has been kidnapped by a bunch of left wing activist that have absolutely no compassion or basic understa...

Great speech Daryl perhaps you could give us some examples how you and your organisation have contributed to the skilled work force, how many apprentices have you directly employed over the last 10 years at great cost. I suspect none, all of these parasitic body hire mobs have done nothing to contribute to the skill pool they just take other...

For too long the employers have been waiting for some one else to train the apprentice up instead of doing the hard yards themselves. At the moment wages have been driven down and no training has been given while profits have sky rocketed. Shame on big businesses. Paul, 16/03/18
