Jim Chalmers’ ‘Working Future’ white paper raises industry-wide concerns

مصر أخبار أخبار

Business leaders, social service advocates and economists have all raised concerns about Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ new jobs plan. The ‘Working Future’ white paper builds on the 2022 industrial foundations of the Jobs and Skills Summit. The Treasurer is aiming to get more in jobs than ever before, providing incentives for pensioners, veterans and the unemployed to enter the labour market. Business and social services groups are attacking parts of the plan, claiming the reforms will be undermined by the government's contentious industrial relations reforms. Some industry groups believe the IR overhaul could result in anti-competitive conduct from unions.
