Tony Abbott is trying to rush through laws that introduce new individual contracts that cut take home pay, give more power to employers in bargaining and make it harder for workers to access their union. But first he has to get his new laws through the senate and past the all important cross-bench senators. If three out of the eight senate cross-benchers vote no - Tony Abbotts attacks on workers will be defeated. Email the cross-bench senators and ask them to vote no to the Fair Work Act amendments on Wednesday. The Fair Work Amendment Bill, no matter what Senator Abetz is telling you, the reality is that this Bill does everything for bosses and nothing for workers. This bill: · Reintroduces unfair individual contracts that can cut take home pay including weekend and penalty rates · Gives employers a veto over industrial action. · Allows employers to not pay-out some annual leave if we’re sacked or leave a job. · Gives mining and construction employers a special deal that allows them to write their own Enterprise Agreements. · Reduces the rights of workers to talk to their union at work if they need help. Use the following tool to message the senators to stop the bill... australianunions.org.au/stop_tony_abbotts_anti_worker_laws
