If the Company had it's way you would be casual and or working for a labour hire company on contract.That is something that almost didn't get changed after Work Choices.
bit of a ‘castle built on sand’ kind of scenario though, don’t you think?
yeah, we have full time employment. But slowly and surely, bit by bit, our terms and conditions are being eroded. What are the unions strategies to mitigate this erosion of our position? I can only recommend a strengthened industrial law framework.
As we’ve both highlighted, the legal framework has degraded to the extent that there a fewer options available to unions to yield the sought outcome/s and as a result, unions are now picking and choosing which battles to fight - if at all.
