Labor’s proposed amendment to the Fair Work Act (subtitled its Secure Jobs, Better Pay bill) has drawn fire from Australia’s three leading employer groups:
the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which says it will create more strikes and unemployment
the Australian Industry Group, which says it threatens decades of national prosperity and will turn workplaces into conflict zones
and the Business Council of Australia, which says it risks tipping the economy over the edge while workers wait longer for pay increases.
