Fed: Dumping of Sydney mother shows hypocrisy of the union bosses :Hockey

The Workplace Relations Minister has accused union bosses of being hypocrites after
a Sydney woman was dumped from an anti-WorkChoices advertisement because her child was
sick.

New Limited reports MAREE FLETCHER .. was promised 14 hundred dollars to appear in the ad.

But it says she was told by a Sydney-based production company she wasn't needed ..

after her daughter woke with chickenpox on the morning of the shoot.

JOE HOCKEY says the unions are so busy spending millions trying to get KEVIN RUDD and
JULIA GILLARD elected that they've forgotten about helping their members.

He says what they've done is what they're campaigning against.

The Australian Nursing Federation is launching a four week campaign against the IR laws today.
