Qantas CEO gets a 71% pay increase (salary now $5 million) then 2 days later locks out his workforce. Unions were only taking limited actions i.e 1 hour stoppages. I work in the shipping industry in Oz and our negotiations last time went 18 months past the agreements expiry date ( so no pay rise or back pay for 18 months). The current agreement we are negotiating is already 12 months past the date. All companies now are taking the same tact. That is prolonging, stalling negotiations so they can save/pocket millions in backpay and rises. Its a trend around Australia and has been for some time. So guys that are rubbishing the unions need to know both sides of the argument. All these greedy corporate fucks say the workers need to realise that the companies can't compete with Asia etc but still take their massive pay packets/share bonuses and don't want to give their employees a rise in line with the cost of living. Yes we can compete with Asia etc if you halve the prices of property/houses, utility bills, food and general cost of living but that won't happen so we fight on.

Thanks. No not because of price, usually pay around 1500 Baht p/n in hotel. Been to Thailand 5 times last 5 years, best accomodation stayed in was a guesthouse not far from Bangla rd, Patong (1050 baht p/n) - love it if that place was in Pattaya.

Anyone know of a Guesthouse in Pattaya with a pool.

Just heard on the Aussie news it was from a methadone overdose.

Sorry captain, still feeling my way around the forum. Didn't know there was a restaurant section cos I'm too lazy to look. Anyway its ended up there thanks MM. Thanks for all the replies, some places for us to checkout. Special thanks to villa for sticking up (not in that way) for me. I don't care what they say about ya , you're good for a laugh. As for your liking for ladyboys, well you could use the motto, as a mate of mine does cos he will fuck anything 'Doesn't matter where it goes, as long as it disappears'

Love me Thai food but would love a good steak or roast dinner occasionally when in Patts. Any suggestions on places to go? rgds
