The terrorgraph hates workers too.

I wouldn’t take this too seriously as the workers have to show up to get their pay, and what happens after that is up to the managers doing the supervision. If there are more workers on a site than are needed for the work it’s a management problem, and with all the OH&S bullshit these days (once workplace safety ceased being an issue dealt with by unions and was taken over by management and dictated by their compensation insurers it’s become a tool of oppressive micromanagement) there are usually many useless jobsworths doing “worksite protection” hanging around most worksites.

As for contractors, on both the Bondi Junction turnback and the Cronulla Line duplication, the last two jobs I worked on before leaving the Railcrap vale of tears, when the Railcrap employed electricians came in to do testing and remediation, we had to rewire most of the crappy, incorrect, untidy work done by the contractors anyway. They have no accountability for the shoddy lazy incompetent work they do that has to be fixed. I believe now, after six years of O’Farrell-Baird-Gladys government, the situation is even worse, and I expect much of the privatised work done on both CSELR and the metro to be equally poorly done.

Of course, if this lazy bludging incompetence leads to a signalling failure that causes a derailment or collision on their idiotic driverless toy train, no-one will gloat with more satisfaction than me.
