Unions and the Business Council of Australia want to use this week’s jobs summit to revive the “key principles” of a controversial deal on enterprise bargaining that was dumped two years ago.
Ahead of the summit, to be held in Canberra on Thursday and Friday, the Australian Council of Trade Unions chief executive, Sally McManus, made a pitch for the government to allow industry-wide bargaining, which would allow multiple workplaces to make an agreement together.
