Have you been a victim of ERMS – a secret blacklist preventing some people getting jobs?My employment was terminated in 2015 for raising awareness about my work place being non compliant. My management were actively bullying me with intimidation, threats, false allegations that only eventuated out of my original complaint due to reporting the poor work environment they had to failed to address on several occasions. This finally...

Mining industry and infrastructure projects in 'war for talent', report findsI have never heard so much such rubbish in my life. I have 41 yrs experience as an electrician. I have been doing FIFO since 1995. I have worked all over Australia and cant get a start anywhere. And its not from lack of trying. I,m 58 yrs old now, thats the issue. Cant discriminate due to race, religion, sex or age. BS. Keith McNie, 25/06...

Federal and State Labor at odds over coalApparently: 'Bill Shorten wants to put up energy prices, sacrifice our energy security and sell out blue-collar workers. Recent data provides evidence.' Very sad to see this important topic turning into a political football.

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...

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'...

It's nor rocket science guys pay decent wages and the blokes will come...
