In light of these allegations, five unions have been named as specific targets in a royal commission into corruption.
21st Century Australia Party Founder Jamie McIntyre says a crackdown on union abuse and corruption is long overdue.
McIntyre at the last election was one of the few Party Leaders to take on the union issue and is one of biggest advocates for union power to be brought under control He strongly believes that abuse of power and union corruption should be eliminated.
In fact it was one of 21st Century Australia's top 25 policies is to bring Australia into the 21st Century.
He also wrote about it in his popular book released several years ago called "101 Ways to Improve Australia" under armour curry 3 shoes sale , which was downloaded heavily during the election campaign as many Australians sought alternate policies to the two major parties
He said:
"From observing what holds Australia back economically I notice that the biggest problems come back to too much union power in Australia.
"Let's face it; GillardRudd formed the worst Australian government largely due to union support and often union corruption. Just like big businesses shouldn't be allowed to control a political party or the government; nor should unions be able to control Government as it is obvious that it leads to abuse of power.
"Especially power amongst the unions that are greedy and some controlled by criminal like gangs profiteering from extortion of industries. This will only lead to many Australians losing their jobs".
According to McIntyre, Australia faces major productivity challenges and unions are the main ones to blame for this.
"One of the few Labor leaders I admire is Bob Hawke and that's because even though he was a union leader under armour curry 2 shoes sale , he knew that unions and industries must work together to create a vibrant economy.
"Even Paul Howes has said the same recently stating that Unions must work with industry, which is perhaps the first intelligent thing I've heard him say. "
Jamie McIntyre says it's clear that we no longer live in the 19th century under armour curry 1 shoes sale , an age when unions were needed.
"With laws in Australia that protect workers and the fact that workers would in most cases be better off without unions, it's time we really move into the 21st century and leave the age of union corruption and abuse behind thus eliminating their influence once and for all from politics and never allow them to put one of their puppets in power like they did with Gillard who was never elected by the people and will go down in history as one of our worst Prime Ministers" under armour speedform gemini sale , said McIntyre.
21st Century Australia throughout it's campaign emphasized that it represents both workers and small to medium business which is unique for a political party as the two major parties represent one not the other.
McIntyre goes on to explain:
"Why should we be forced to vote for Labor (a party that is infiltrated with union corruption and are economically destructive because they think that all problems are solved with higher taxes and higher debt) or the coalition that largely spruiks the big end of town?
"I think most Australians are actually in the middle of politics i.e. centre right largely.
"So why do we support one left wing party or a right wing party when it's clear that a party in the centre that is centre right economically and centre left socially is the solution to the majority of Australians challenges" he said.
He said that union power must be smashed once and for all.
"It is a form of communism that breeds poverty. Australians need to get productive super fast, dump union membership and increase efficiencies or kiss their jobs good bye.
"Unions will lead to the loss of jobs and lower wages in the long run. The smart financial approach is to increase productivity and efficiencies leading to greater wealth for everyone and not wealth filled into the secret slush funds of unions and their criminal and political connections".
McIntyre explains:
"We need politicians with the courage to take on the vested power interests on the far left and far right of politics and restore Australian politics to the middle ground.
"This can bring about forward thinking policies that innovate and increase the wealth of the nation for all and educate our youth about the dangers of socialistic and communistic thinking pushed by unionism.
"We also need to restore and grow our manufacturing sector saving it from unions that are largely in the way of productive changes desperately needed in this sector to make manufacturer viable again.
"This was very evident even when the major car companies asked for union concessions but none were given despite unions being warned that their members would lose their jobs".
McIntyre goes on to state:
"The unions still refused to budge and persisted with their excesses and therefore under armour scorpio sale , the predictable outcome has occurred. Jobs have been lost forever. Valuable manufacturing base has been lost forever.
"Australia has suffered enough due to union greed. Its time to take our country back and ensure jobs for Australians by stopping unions from destroying the very jobs they are meant to protect", said McIntyre.
