CWU T&S WEEKLY BULLETIN NO 2021 / 11
21 Mar 2021

LIBERAL WORKCHOICES LAWS MOSTLY DEFEATED FOR NOW
Thank you to those who joined the campaign. It was a success. The ACTU said:
Forced to gut IR Bill, Morrison attacks casuals, green lights wage theft: Working people have successfully campaigned to stop many of the worst aspects of the Morrison Government's IR Omnibus Bill, including changes to Greenfields agreements, bargaining and the basic rights of part-time workers.
Of the 5 elements of the IR Omnibus Bill, only one was passed. Faced with a lack of support for the Bill, the Morrison Government has focussed on entrenching insecure work and removed the only aspect of the Bill which was agreed to by unions and employers, laws aimed at reducing wage theft.
The Government's refusal to support mutually agreed action to prevent wage theft while forcing through greater exploitation of casual employees is shameful and reveals the true intentions of the Government.
