Right lane jackass (n): Refers to a driver in the right lane of a multilane street approaching an intersection where the light is red; AND these four other conditions are present: 1) There is plenty of room to be in the middle lane, 2) The driver has no intention of turning right, 3) Cars behind the RLJ have their right blinkers on well in advance of the intersection in the hopes that the driver will notice and move to the other lane and allow them to turn right on red; however 4) The driver is clueless as to his or her surroundings.
Optional criteria, not required for the definition, but frequently present: 1) Drivers behind the RLJ with their blinkers on appear pissed. 2) The intersection has an unusually long cycle time before the light turns green, 3) There is virtually no cross traffic. 4) The RLJ's car has its fuel door open, with the gas cap hanging out.
Passenger: "My contractions are getting closer together. You need to take a right at the next intersection to get to the hospital!"
Driver: "Keep breathing Dear. I'll just put my right turn signal on so that guy in front of us knows to pull to the left before the intersection so we don't have to wait for that light."
Passenger: "He's not pulling over, he just stopped and blocked the right lane, and he's not even turning. Why would he do that?"
Driver: "because he's a right lane jackass and he's clueless. Better hold your legs closed, we may be here awhile"

Your Rights At Work, YRAW was a community / union fighting group made up of people, including the general public. It was grass roots. For people who did not like the new industrial laws introduced by Prime Minister John Howard.
Not only did Mr Howard want to destroy the current industrial system and send workers back to the 18th and 19th century. Mr Howard also wanted to rid Australia of unions by the decline in membership numbers as workers discovered that unions under the new industrial laws could offer very little protection. Unions would soon go broke.
A gamble that backfired and may in fact one day see Mr Howard labelled as the leader who tried to destroy unions yet instead he caused the rebirth of unions.
The YRAW campaign took off.
During the campaign there were incredible achievements made by individual, such as Bernie Banton who showed people they can make a difference. The people formed local groups. Of all the things done, the thing one that has to go to the top of the list is the way all YRAW members and supports were non violence.
With the ACTU guiding them people from all walks of life refused to engage in any form of anti social behaviour towards the Howard government or it commercial minded supporters. The same can not be said for the government or its supports.
Yet this non aggressive behaviour was even more amazing when we realise that no orders were even passed down the line saying behave in a set way.
Instead of a big stick to hit people on the head and the stamping of its feet, the ACTU and the unions used a better tool. They used: Leading by example.
In all events, only peaceful civil behaviour was displayed the ACTU and the many unions leaders. This good behaviour had the effect of filtering down throughout the various groups onto the front line workers and people.
The end result of years of work for the many YRAW groups yet not a single aggressive disturbances.
Rather then fighting and general strikes the ACTU organised the biggest rejection of any Australian Government from power. An ousting that was sweetened by the prime minister Mr J Howard also loosing his own seat.
Not as visually entertaining for the masses as was a public hanging say in the early 18th century, yet it was acceptable as it is in line with the non violent approach to the campaign.
Your Rights At Work say thank you the Howard Government.
You forced unions to have a long hard look at them self and at what they were doing.
Mr Howard had his strategy in place. He was ready to combat unions in the expected style of protest such as the use of a general strike. Unfortunately for the government, a general strike was a strategy that the ACTU knew would not work. The union way of thinking has evolved.
They looked beyond today and instead made plans for the long term goal. Used the most powerful tool available to people living in a democracy. The 2007 Federal election.

Admission that the movement of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s was successful. An acceptance that the struggle for civil equality is over because what was granted has affected lasting, positive change.
Use of the phrase post-civil rights movement ignores the continual struggle for racial, gender, and educational advancement and equality because such a term conveys a belief that a civil rights movement has a start and end point. Marches end; movements do not.
