Compare the pair - Labor's Forward with Fairness against the Howard Government's WorkChoices
Thursday July 26, 2007
A lot has been written and said in the past 18 months about how unjust and unfair the Howard Government’s WorkChoices IR laws are.
We have seen workers unfairly dismissed with no recourse, people forced to sign AWAs to get a job or a promotion, and people’s wages and conditions slashed through the use of AWAs.
All the things the ACTU and union movement predicted when John Howard first released these so-called reforms.
We all know these laws are bad and need to be changed. But just what is the alternative?
The ALP released its policy Forward with Fairness earlier this year.
And we have put together a short document that easily explains the difference between what a Rudd Labor Government would do for Australian working families and John Howard’s WorkChoices.
The choice is yours at the ballot box. You have all the information at your fingertips.
This document simply and easily explains the difference between the two policies and explains the benefits to Australian working families of the ALP plans.
Also attached below is the ALP policy document, if you would like more detailed information regarding how Kevin Rudd and his team plan to revamp the Australian workplace if they are elected to govern later this year.
