Default Australia’s Secret War: How Unionists Sabotaged Our Troops in World War II

https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/201...DK7Zv9Fe9TpTeY
Absolutely worth a read if you can track it down (not sure it's available outside Australia).
Details the bastardry bordering on treason that occurred in union run industries in WWII, particularly on the docks and in coal mines. The strikes, go slow campaigns, theft, sabotage and more which directly led to massive shortages both at home, and worse, on the front lines even while Australia was under imminent threat of Japanese invasion.
At the time the unions were absolutely riddled with loud and proud Marxists bent on bringing about a workers revolution at any cost, even if it meant loosing the war against Japan!
