It's clear that you understand the mining industry and can comment on it.
I don't share your view and won't comment on the mining industry. But in aviation, unions impede safety progress by interfering and watering down critical programs. I would like to see cameras on the flight deck and the ability to see all FOQA data. I want to know where the problems are and not bury it under the false impression of privacy. Keeping pilots and passengers alive should not be interfered with in any way shape or form.
When they succeed in helping everybody they make sure everybody knows it. When they impede progress nobody knows and it quietly goes away. That happens a lot more than the successes.
You really, really sound STUPID !!!
Stupid enough that yes I believe you are in middle management somewhere.
