Have to agree that alot (not all) of the tradies are only whinging cause they're mortgaged to the eyeballs and even with alot of the ones I know the wives don't work (but they're on the books for tax purposes).

I feel sorry for all the casuals in the hospitality and retail industry as they have no annual leave, sickies or long service to fall back on. Some haven't got any savings either, they live a pay to pay week.
