Some of the largest, most profitable corporations in Australia (many of whom pay $0 in corporate tax) are trying to stop the Albanese Government's new Secure Jobs Better Pay laws.

VENTIA AGREED TO HALT RESTRUCTURE FOLLOWING UNION INTERVENTION
On 2 November 2022, Ventia announced changes to its Network Operations & Assurance / NIFM team, that would result in a reduction of 11 roles.
This disgraceful action by Ventia does not even get close to constituting with genuine consultation. The Union appealed for Ventia to extend the period, with nothing but push back from the company. Clearly, their action was prearranged and their intentions to `consult' is just lip service. The Union has therefore made an application to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) for an urgent hearing. The hearing has been granted and will occur next Thursday, 10 November. As a result, Ventia have committed to not making any irreversible decisions on this matter until the FWC has heard the matter. This should hopefully provide some comfort to impacted members who can now consider their options, outside of a pressure cooker environment. NBN JOBS IN NSW
