This week workers employed by numerous major contractors will vote on accepting a new company enterprise bargaining agreement.
 
The fact that the votes will be close is a testament to the strength of the MBA and company argument that workers will suffer under the alternate union proposal.
 
The union is demanding a 5% annual wage increase and to shut down the industry every second Monday. Workers will lose overtime and flexibility and the 5% wage increase will damage long term job prospects.
