    Actuary/Law - Late Round Offer!

    Unionists

    Maybe so, i only chose business as opposed to eco because of a timetable conflict with chem. This is exactly what they did and were subsequently sent a letter notifying their case being held in the industrial relations tribunal on such and such date. Before it gets to court there needs to...

    Unionists

My family runs a job network agency and as such i have seen first hand the fears of many employers and have also witnessed many cases of excessive union intervention. Most of these are confidential but if you wish i can describe some for...

    Unionists

    is all about power, your supervisor has it, and to question their integrity is to challenge their power. To do that you need evidence, rather than mere accusations, before you have this you can do nothing that won't worsen your situation. Your supervisor can deny it and as they are in a superior...

    Unionists

    I would gladly negotiate my own individual agreement (which under a coalition industrial relations system is possible) rather than the award that is negotiated by the union. Those who don't want to can let the unions do it for themselves, but the point is its the employees and employers choice...

    What would be the best textbooks to use when preparing for the 4U exam?

    i used lee during the year and excel before tests, lee is pretty shit on explanation of concepts and a few of the questions are screwy but it ain't too bad.

    Unionists

    I am not and will never be a member of a union. They give better conditions sometimes sure, but I know of a number of cases where union demands have caused the closure/relocation of several businesses (that were paid quite adequatley) leaving the employees out of a job. I beleve in fair...

    Whether to do 4U or not...

    I'd do 4unit if i was you, its not that hard if you're pretty good at maths - which you obviously are seeing as you got good marks. I did it this year and got 85, got 91 in ext 1 so you should be able to get 86+.

    how did the 4Uers go?

    90-110 for 4 unit. around 60-70 for 3unit, probably mid 60s.
