Hey, as long as we're in union chat, what's a good one for a university library assistant in NSW? Not in poo poo, just want to be covered if I get injured to/from work.

On the other hand, will they pay any company tax in Australia? on the other other hand, how much company tax do Harvey Norman and Gerry Harvey pay in Australia?

Pretty sure that Harvey is just a landlord at this point, its all a big franchise scam that writes off losses on departments without affecting the parent company.

Labor must put rising inequality at the heart of its agenda for the next federal election and consider whether a “Buffett rule” should be part of the policy mix, according to the former treasurer, Wayne Swan. Swan will use a speech on Wednesday to the national conference of the Australian Workers Union (AWU) to argue Labor needs to seriously consider the proposal – where the highest income earners in Australia would be forced to pay a mandated minimum rate of tax. The pitch puts him at odds with the shadow treasurer, Chris Bowen. Also gently caress Bowen Also why didn't Swan do it in the first place. ALP

Swan faced a massively hostile opposition the same as the Libs should be right now, but they're not because the racist pig fucker vote is now recognised in parliament.

As a follow on to this Joyce is now saying they chose to work from maccas. Kind of like how they chose to drink fluids to stop from dying of dehydration I guess. The only person I can see with no choice in this situation is likely to be Joyce if they didn't actually go there to work having no choice but to sack them. Get in the bin fuckstick.

I guess we can look forward to 3 months of the media fellating "ScoMo" for achieving absolutely nothing, and turning what should have been a significant turnaround into the macroeconomic equivalent of "Climate change is a hoax because it's cool today!" 4 more years.

This honestly makes no sense to me. There are tons of cool local cafes, and a local library. All of those places would be better to work at than Mcdonalds. And it'd probably be easy to find a space to work out of at the university as well

The only way a reduction of penalty rates could be classed as a gift is if it were coupled with a significant increase in the base rate of pay in those same awards. Anything else is just pure horse poo poo.

Just wait for the new budget. Cuts to medicare and welfare to ensure all poors get the gift of sweet release from this planet in as expedient a manner as is affordable. The gift of not having to live to see your children's prospects filled by drones and algorithms.

If the penalty rate is 200%, and the base is 15$, then if the penalty is reduced to 150% and the base goes up to 20$, there's no reduction, correct?

Cartoon posted:At best you are balancing/redistributing/rationalising. It strains the English language beyond what it can take to suggest that reducing a penalty rate is giving anybody anything. Also your example (although obviously deliberately simple) in no way reflects the actual deals being talked about as 'gifts' The base rate generally didn't go up at all and other provisions were I'm not really trying to use her language, because it's poo poo language obviously. I've just been wondering about the stupidity behind the decision since it got handed down. The only possible way this thing could have been beneficial is if the reduction in penalty rate came with a massive increase in the base rate. It didn't, so it isn't.

From what I remember about the SDA negotiated EBA with Coles & others was that it was found to be invalid because the agreement left Sunday workers worse off overall, which violated the policy of Fair Work (the law? idk). So now they need to negotiate a new one and in the meantime Fair Work has gifted them a lower bar to cross in order to do so.
