<DIV></DIV>Yes Allen<BR><FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT><SMALL><FONT face=Arial>We
had an AEU rep out to our school to talk about the agreement. She told us that
the AEU accepted the Brumby government's figure of 3% inflation this year (a
few days before her visit the Reserve Bank had published its figure of
4.5%) and 2% the next few years - (the Reserve has said that it expects
inflation for the next to at least to be above 3%). Why a union negotiator
would accept the employer's figures over the official Reserve Bank rates is
totally incomprehensible to me. IF they are fair dinkum in representing us,
that is.</FONT></SMALL><BR><BR><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#000000
