[edit] History in Australia
It seems to me that the second and third paragraphs in this section are a little off topic. They seem to discuss the general history of Australian Labour rather than the history of the Organising model. It is all related, of course, but could perhaps be focused a little better. --Bookandcoffee 21:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] US vs. uk/aust. terminology
perhaps in the united states vs. uk/other anglo nations, i think the "service model" in opposition to the "organizing model" has a different meaning. here in the US, the image of the "service model" is that of a "business agent" mainly returning phone calls to members about grievances and what not, hence "servicing" the collective bargaining agreement; i think it seems in the UK the "servicing" might mean something different, like a host of legal benefits for members or something. thoughts?
[edit] US vs. uk/aust. terminology
No, the meanings are similar on both sides of the Atlantic.
