Como me desconecto del mundo??

Oficialmente hoy iniciaron mis vacaciones, aunque desde ayer estoy libre del trabajo, regreso a la actividad portuaria en 17 días. Salgo con la firme convicción de no tener contacto con nada de lo que signifique trabajo o compañeros de la empresa o cosas que me han atormentado al punto de estar ansiando este día desde hace un mes.Quiero desconectarme del mundo, irme de viaje a un lugar donde no tenga que enterarme de lo que pasa, no saber de nadie mas que ese personaje llamado Luis Parra(Mark Spitz), adios trabajo, adios país, hasta pronto familia, chao con todo. Solo diversion y descanso.
Con la tecnología actual eso que quiero hacer es cada vez mas dificil. Antes tenias que tener una computadora cerca para poder conectarte a internet y comunicarte con un correo o el messenger, ahora el Twitter, etc. Ahora la tecnología te mantiene tan conectado que atraves del celular obtienes todo lo que una compu te da.

Me voy de viaje a recorrer Perú. Ica, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Machu picchu, son los sitios en los que estare visitando. Los hoteles en los que voy me ofrecen internet por wi-fi, lo que hace que mi celular se convierta en una herramienta para conecarme con el mundo. Mientras se tengan las herramientas para conectarse al mundo menos voluntad de hacerlo tenemos. Abres tu messenger, twiiteas un rato y te enteras de noticias que te pueden arruinar las vacaciones.

Con la tecnologia actual la unica manera de desconectarse del mundo, de una manera personal, es ponerle voluntad de no usar ese aparatito y darle vacaciones y que se tome un descanso también, pero no hay voluntad de hacerlo.

Our Choice: not WorkChoices

With the federal election rapidly approaching, staff from Unions NSW are touring around marginal regional seats in NSW to make sure that people have not become too complacent about the status quo of Australian industrial relations. And they’re asking federal election candidates to publicly discuss their industrial relations policies at a special forum next week.

Paul Doughty, Unions NSW campaign organsier, said he was concerned that if the Coalition wins the election, Tony Abbott would again introduce the industrial relations changes brought in with the WorkChoices legislation in 2006.

"Under WorkChoices, hundreds of thousands of regional Australians lost protection from unfair dismissal, and Australian Workplace Agreements were used to cut pay and conditions. Often isolated from a union, workers had few rights or the ability to express them," Mr Doughty said.

Maralyn Schofield, co-ordinator of the NRCLC, said that many people in low paid jobs came through the legal centre and that the youngest in society would be hardest hit by any industrial relations changes.

"Retail is the single biggest industry in this region and has predominantly young workers," Ms Schofield said. "Young people often don’t have the confidence to negotiate and under individual workplace agreements, these people will be paid lower than Award wages and can be sacked without recourse."

While Tony Abbott has said he would not reintroduce WorkChoices legislation, Mr Doughty believes that Mr Abbott could change the regulations, which would have the same effect on workers as the legislative changes.

"Tony Abbott will reintroduce WorkChoices by stealth," Mr Doughty said. "He was one of the architects of WorkChoices in 2001 and was a hard-liner on the issue. He may choose to call it another name but we know that he believes in it.

"He has already said that 'students are ready and willing to work' and will sell it as 'any wage is better than no wage'. We need to think critically before we believe what he is telling us."

Mr Doughty said that at the moment, many of the three-year AWA contracts signed when WorkChoices was introduced are due to expire.

"We saw a big rush of AWAs prior to the previous election, Mr Doughty said. “When they were introduced the last time, 75% of AWAs cut penalty rates and 80% removed annual leave loading."

Punita Boardman said that discrimination issues could become a nightmare if unfair dismissal laws were changed.

"Under WorkChoices, employers could dismiss an employee 'for operational reasons'," Ms Boardman said. "When Fair Work Australia was brought in under the Labor government, this was no longer a valid reason for dismissal and employers had to prove there was a genuine reason."
