The Australian Industry Group yesterday spoke out against Labor's Fair Work Bill, identifying seven areas it argues are unworkable and should be dumped.
AIGroup chief executive Heather Ridout said all seven -- including compulsory arbitration for low-paid industries, increased union access to worksites and obligations on employers to deal with unions -- were not released prior to the election.
The AIGroup has identified 60 provisions of Labor's bill where the role and power of unions have been increased, while employers had received virtually nothing.
This is after she earlier declared the system “workable”.
She could have saved herself a lot of trouble had she opposed this when she should have – during the election. Maybe her members told her to speak-up or look for another job?
Poor old Kevin. At least he still has his other trained monkey - Rod Eddington – who refused to quit as the ALP’s business advisor, despite this.
UPDATE: Maybe now Turnbull will grow a pair and oppose this legislation, as he should have done from day one.
UPDATE II: I am not sure neutered is the best description of Ridout - then again, considering the wording in the last update, maybe it is.
