Here we go again, after just 12 months under a Labor government, the budget heading into deficit, the economy heading into recession with the only things booming being Union power and unemployment.
A RADICAL overhaul of workplace laws, to be unveiled by the Rudd Government today, will propose a vastly increased role for unions, venturing far beyond the policy Labor took to the election a year ago.
Business groups are already branding Julia Gillard’s 600-page legislative package a “throwback to the Keating era” as unions stand to win back rights to demand industry-wide pay deals and access to the wage records of non-members.
Employers are furious that unions - which represent just 14 per cent of the private sector workforce - will get a seat at the bargaining table even if just one worker in a large company belongs to a union.
