It is strange. I went for a job as a union organiser with the United Services Union (NSW) and in my application I made it clear on two occasions that I was a member of the Socialist Alliance. At the end of the interview, for which I had travelled 360 kilometres, I was advised that if given the job I was to become a member of the ALP. I protested that I had made it known that I was with the Socialist Alliance. I was told that the SA was not a political party! When I insisted that the SA was indeed a political party, the interview was suddenly curtailed. It is strange!
