Industrial relations are very much in the news these days. Has any one thought to rub 'honest John's' nose into this? He could do some good for once and write something with teeth into the new system. In my time I had 3 complaints lodged with the Industrial Relations Commission and the AFAP. It seems all they can do is to 'encourage' the employer to do the right thing. If the employer does not 'voluntarily' comply there is no way they can be forced to, except of strike action and a strike of 1 is not very effective. 'Honest John' made a 'core promise' on TV that NO ONE will get less than the 'legal' minimum wage. Hello - wake up. Some one will need to help him put his finger on the pulse. Perhaps the AFAP could work with the ACTU?
