Truckies trying to pick up nurses

There's a huge unions gathering going on next door. All in aid of organising against the Australian government's thinly-veiled attempt at screwing the workers even more and making the rich even richer plans of industrial relations "reform", no doubt. And it is heartening, if a bit funny, to see how just now during lunch break, big burly truckies were daintily sharing their snags from the obligatory sausage sizzle with the comely lasses from the Nurses' Union. You have nothing to lose but your kits. Maybe.
