somehow cops are always unionized, get what they ask for, and that just goes without saying. any other unions are a Huge Deal and must be fought tooth & nail over mere pittances
Last month while the federal aus govt was openly destroying one of the most militant unions, and calling a strike in solidarity illegal industrial action
the australian federal police association took illegal industrial action and it barely made the news
police where i live are 80% unionised
VicPol are now taking the same action as the ambos and are tagging protest messages on their cars - but are whining about how disrespected they are.
I saw this as one drove on the tram tracks on Flinders Street and beeped at a guy crossing to the tram stop. That direction of Flinders Street is closed for tunnel construction so there's no oncoming traffic, this is the biggest intersection in the city, and driving on the tram tracks through a raised and divided stop is generally illegal. I saw red and had to stop myself from throwing my metal water bottle through their windscreen, I got it out of my bag and everything
also I'm unaware of a time that police unions ever had solidary strikes along with other unions
