Royal Commission 'prejudiced and biased': CFMEU leader

Chris Slee writes that Royal Commission 'prejudiced and biased': CFMEU leader.

By accusing the CFMEU of blackmail, the Royal Commission is trying to portray any industrial action (apart from the very limited forms allowed by Australia's highly restrictive laws) as a crime. Union officials (and by implication rank and file union members) who carry out such industrial action are portrayed as criminals. The royal commission is also preparing the ground for even more severe restrictions on workers' rights.

Emphasis Mine

Any defiance against the ruling class is a crime. A crime is defying the natural order of things.

And since Capitalism is currently the true natural order of things, workers who ask for and fight for decent working conditions and wages are against the natural order of things in which the Capitalists alone determine what is right and fair.
