Dear Neville
We’ve said from the start that the Productivity Commission is a thin disguise for Tony Abbott’s WorkChoices agenda.
And now that the draft report is out, the media’s starting to catch on.
Neville, as someone who cares about our rights at work, you’re probably about to get really angry.
Even though the report explicitly points out that our current IR system works well, it still recommends a return to the worst aspects of WorkChoices: Individual Flexibility Agreements that allow employers to undermine entitlements, reduced protection for unfair dismissal, and NO protection from increased use of insecure work such as labour hire.
(Oh, and slashing Sunday penalties for retail and hospitality workers. Because apparently their weekends aren’t important)
Here’s our article about just a few of the serious nasties the report recommends.
Neville, we’ve made it easy to spread the word.

The more workers who hear about the attacks on our rights, the better prepared we’ll be to fight Tony Abbott’s second crack at WorkChoices. So let’s organise, stand up, and fight back!
In unity,
Your team at Vic Trades Hall
