Remember just a few months ago when the big story about workers was that their wages were too low? We saw bus drivers out on strike for 6 days with editorials agreeing they should be paid more and support from customers and the public alike. The reaction to the CTU Fair Share campaign and the EPMU "5% in 05" was also very positive. But now the media focus has shifted to the other component of take-home pay - tax.
