Tradies are the latest to benefit from the disruption of the sharing economyA classic example of the sharing economy is this technology platform electricianXchange. The web site is www.electricianXchange.com It's an employer-to-employer staff exchange program for electricians. If you've got staff who are without work for a day, a week or a month instead of bearing the overhead and that eating into your profit, you can...

Former EnergyAustralia exec says electricity retailers are unethicalWhat about how the Energy Companies are dealing with landowners with a power line on their properties? They take away all our property rights but no one wants to know about it yet it is as big a form of corruption and conflict of interest as the Banking Inquiry yet everyone is avoiding the issue. Grabbing land for nothing and making rules up so...

Firm has trouble finding tradiesI don't think the liberals want to train anybody.This is because the big companies that back the liberals want 457s at $5 an hour.I've seen it.Those poor xxxxx are hired at $5 an hour. As soon as the trade shortage is bad enough Malcolm Turnbull will say "ooh we have to do this!". And what's the point of a rich country full of poor people.I...

Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?Pretty sure this is whats happened to My Husband. The shift he was on was productive and all got along well. As soon as the new Manager came in she broke up the shifts and went after the older workers. She set My husband up for a task he could not do and then sacked him. Her only qualification was that her uncle is a BHP higher up and got her...

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'...

Draft FIFO code open for commentI'm a nurse and a partner of a man who is 3x3 fifo. My partner struggles mentally every swing out there, fortunately i am able to talk him through most of his issues/ problems . What happens to those men that have no one to talk to at home or wives/ partners that are not qualified or able to talk/ understand mental hearth issues??? There is a...

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...

Microsoft signs largest corporate solar agreement in US historyAnd what happens at 5.00pm pray tell. Oh that's right they then want that dirty coal fired power station to pick up the slack Corporate virtue signalling by a monopoly how PC John Burns, 03/04/18

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...

WA could become global LNG hubLooking at the interconnect pipelines in offshore fields ,I can't help but be reminded of the similarity to the Claymore and Piper Alpha fields operated by Occidental ,here's hoping it's a different result. Phil, 28/03/18

Hundreds of jobs, but where are the workers?Nearly all jobs in mining are through an employment agency atm. You get a flat rate, no sick pay, no holiday pay and no redundancy at the end of project. Oh and no job to go to! Its crap, used and abused and see ya later. Thanks for making us look good with your awesome skills and completing our project! (Which many don’t) as there is no...

Hundreds of jobs, but where are the workers?
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...
