Public servants revolt

Kevin Rudd was supposed to free the workers from the repressive John Howard and his evil Workchoices. Now the governments own workers are complaining of being over worked by Rudd.
PUBLIC servants are demanding pay rises to compensate for their excessive working hours and limited family time since Prime Minister Kevin Rudd won the election.

They claim some public servants are being forced to work 80 hours a week.
The Commonwealth Public Service Union will launch a public campaign calling for improved work-life balance and increased wages, particularly in the departments carrying out the Rudd Government agenda.
I think public servants should be able to negotiate what ever arrangement they want with their employer. That way they can achieve the right balance between work and family life. But that sounds to much like the evil Workchoices doesn't it?
