The HR Nicholls Society is excited to announce a very special promotion for new members:

The first 30 persons who apply to join the society before 5:00pm Friday June 28 will have their joining fee waived, and receive a 50% discount on the Annual Conference & Dinner – a saving of $120!

For over 30 years the HR Nicholls Society has been at the forefront of the fight to reform Australia’s outdated industrial relations system.

As a member of the HR Nicholls Society, you will be entitled to exclusive event invitations, regular newsletters from the Society, and most importantly, you will be playing a key role in ensuring a return to a free and fair labour market in Australia.

The 2013 Annual Conference – the highlight of the Society’s year – shall be held in Melbourne on July 8th on the topic: “Unions in Control?”
Guest speakers include:

Mr Scott Barklamb, Executive Director – Industry, Australian Mines and Metals Association
Dr Chris Roberts, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer,
Cochlear Ltd
Mr Paul Fletcher MP, Federal Member for Bradfield

And many more: click HERE for details.

HR Nicholls Membership usually attracts a $30 joining fee and $70 annual fee, and the cost of the Annual Conference and Dinner is $180. Under this promotion, the total cost is $160 – a saving of $120!

Upon approval, all new members will be entitled to the full rights and privileges of membership, and receive either an HR Nicholls Tie or Scarf of their choosing.

With the 2013 election approaching, it is CRITICAL that Industrial Relations reform is back on the agenda – and joining the HR Nicholls Society and attending the conference is the strongest possible message you can send to Canberra that we need urgent reform.

    It's ironic how an organisation which one would assume campaigns against unions and the payment of membership fees to be part of one charges membership fees itself.

      I don't claim to know anything about the organisation (i actually found it on my favourite neo-con blog - http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/hera…) but where does it say they're against charging membership fees?

      Honestly there has got to be something wrong with somebody that is such a scrooge they want to LOWER the input and voice people have in their place of earning, and lower the wages of the 99% AND is so cheap he or she feels the need to use a site to give those people voice to share the bargains the need to get by.

      Anybody actually here who thinks this 'deal' is a good idea are either pro-actively shooting themselves in the foot campaigning against their own interest, or the biggest scrooge in the country wasting their much more valuable time competing with the 'poor' for bargains. Tho i am sure a gigabit fiber link right into the backbone helps them get in first.

      If the latter - can I have a new wheelchair with your savings please

    So let me get this straight, if I join I can get a free scarf to wash my car with and my first year's membership is waived?

      Should've put that in the title…

        But you haven't answered the second part of the question. The joining fee is waived but what about the first year's membership? If it isn't then it isn't worth my time to apply for a washcloth for my Jag.

      • retiredfeline on 18/06/2013 - 18:15

        Also what's on the menu at the dinner? I hope it's something controversial. I hate the idea of a boring spread.

      Errr as a HR Nicholls society member, one doesn't wash one's automobile, One directs one's servants to do so,with fore-mentioned free scarf.

      • retiredfeline on 18/06/2013 - 19:52

        Of course I'll outsource it to a lowly paid peon, have no worries.

  • macca22 on 18/06/2013 - 15:57

    anyone who proposes lowering wages and conditions are not very nice people and hoping in the spirit of ozbargain this doesn't turn into a political bunfight

      Nice strawman. Just because you have a skewed political opinion and don't like someone else's, that's still not a good reason to neg a deal.

      • barryquinn on 18/06/2013 - 16:10

        They should combine the bargain with membership of the Shooters party, in order to attract like-minded bargain hunters.

    Yeah, damn grabby workers, don't they know surplus capital is for the elite only? Pah, what happened to the good old days of rampant backdoor colusion? Still, I am certainly glad the ever increasing wage gap is keeping those smelly working classes away from me ~scratches bloated corporate fat cat belly, adjusts top hat and monocle then drives away in a car fueled by the tears of environmentalists~

        What an eloquent response. What are you gonna do next, question my sexuality? Tell me to get back into the kitchen? Punch the wall next to my head?

          That's it, get angry! At least your eloquent responses are better than mine!

          You sound like a rabid leftist! lol! :)

        • heyrosered on 18/06/2013 - 17:10

          Yes, the person who didn't resort to ad hominem attacks is the one who's angry. Well that's about as logical as most neocon policies, actually, so I shouldn't be surprised. Who needs reason when you have exclamation marks and Alan Jones? lol! :)

          Fair point, but it kinda gets annoying when people like you (3 of you so far) neg a deal when it's clearly a personal opinion, and has nothing to do with it being a deal.

          Speaking of ad hominem attacks - "What are you gonna do next, question my sexuality? Tell me to get back into the kitchen? Punch the wall next to my head?"

          You've got to be kidding, right?

        • heyrosered on 18/06/2013 - 17:27

          Haha are you kidding? Those are all references the actions of your fellows.

        • zo1dberg on 18/06/2013 - 17:53

          Which fellows?

  • Moderatorneil on 18/06/2013 - 17:19

    Debate is fine but do not resort to personal attacks.

    The HR Nicholls Society believes that in a modern society there is no intrinsic imbalance in bargaining power between employers and employees…

    They are saying that any Australian worker has as much bargaining power as, say, BHP Billiton, even though BHP Billiton has literally billions of dollars, and as many lawyers as it wants, at its disposal.

    If you think that a kid straight out of high school has as much power when it comes to negotiating pay and conditions (hours, sick leave etc) as a multi-billion-dollar multi-national company, then by all means join this group.

    • wharlie on 18/06/2013 - 19:28

      They believe every worker has equal bargaining power but only on an individual basis, not as part of a union.
      It's the old divide and conquer routine.

      • AlexF on 18/06/2013 - 23:27

        It's obvious you're lacking, 'cause if you weren't you'd be aware of current skills shortage crisis and need for more workplace flexibility instead of propagating this 'divide and conquer' myth.
        Plenty of people in the world would love to come and take your job at mutually negotiated pay and conditions and be grateful for the opportunity of not being flogged, starved, maimed, shot, etc as they would in whatever hole they climbed out of.
        Workers not wanting to work for pittance, have a right to rot, just as long as they do it quietly and not stand in the way decent, hard-working and motivated industry captains trying to make a go of it.

    " Guest speakers include:

    So if I worked for his good mate Gina, it would only take 80 days (4mths) pay to join - Baaaaaargain!
