Strike!!!

Phill went on strike today, by not going to work/ school. It's the national day of protest against the federal government's industrial reforms which amongst other things will also take away my cherished privilege of not needing an MC for sick leave that's not more than 2 days. He tried to arrange to go to Melbourne for the protest but there is no-one arranging for that and basically, each individual make their own arrangements.

But cos he was on camp last week, he only knew about it when he returned to work on Friday and he had to quickly get everything organised but by then, it was too late to hitch a ride on anyone's car to go to Melbourne.

He stayed at home and relax instead. However, he lost a day's pay. But as we discussed abt it last week, I said its worth standing up for it cos its a matter of principle.
