Eric Abetz has said no worker should be worse off under the penalty rate cuts, and thus they should only apply to new workers.
So he is acknowledging the the change to penalty rates makes workers worse off, but is advocating for wages to shrink in the future.

Incentive both for workers to feel trapped in their jobs and incentive for business to cycle through staff to keep costs down, clear win win.

This is pretty reasonable in QLD, they have to give seven days notice and there has to be a fair time between inspections. Is it different in other states?

Man films own racist tirade against 7-Eleven employee

From a separate source:

quote:

He did concede posting a sign on the door saying the store was closed was not in line with company policy and that had been reiterated with the staff member involved.

7/11 are poo poo and no one should ever work for them given their history. But there are two separate issues here:

1) Racist abusive fuckwit.

2) Employee violating company policy.


Sadly, no matter what their response to the first item, I can't imagine any company ignoring the second.

Shutting the store for an hour and a half? How many customers has the company lost because of that guy doing this? All that :10bux: :ohdear:

The only reason he still has a job is because everyone is still looking at them.

Is it not too much to ask to not publicly reprimand racially abused people who work for you for pennies in national media?

They enabled the justification of cuts by signing deals for major retail with lesser penalty rates. How this union doesn't care or understand that corporations constantly scream about precedent being set when one worker loses a provision is loving beyond me.

true story, under my current SDA agreement, we're already at what the proposed cuts are anyway.

Peter Dutton working behind the scenes to legislate same-sex marriage before CEO spray

quote:

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton - who last week lambasted corporate leaders for publicly supporting marriage equality - has been working behind the scenes to help Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull find a path to legalise same-sex marriage in this term of Parliament.

Mr Dutton, one of the government's leading conservatives, told colleagues following the defeat of the plebiscite in the Senate last year that the issue would be an ongoing distraction unless it was dealt with before the next election.
