David Boyle is back with another episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', and this one is a wild ride through the world of union drama on a Melbourne job site. Boyle shares his experience of being kicked off-site by a union representative, giving a raw and unfiltered look at the power dynamics between unions and non-unionised companies.
His company, the only one not signed with the union, faces the consequences as the union flexes its muscles, halting work and demanding certifications like first aid and fire extinguisher training before allowing them back on site. Boyle’s storytelling is both hilarious and eye-opening as he describes the intimidating presence of union enforcers and the stark differences in pay and benefits between unionised and non-unionised workers.
The episode is packed with anecdotes about his colleagues' reactions, the perks of union membership, and the potential fallout if his company were to join the union. With his signature humour and candidness, Boyle paints a vivid picture of life on a construction site under union pressure. Whether you're familiar with union politics or just enjoy a good laugh, this episode offers an engaging mix of comedy and real-life drama.
Don't miss out on Boyle's unique perspective and entertaining commentary on the ups and downs of his journey to sobriety.
