“Small businesses will not welcome the prospect of being subject to industrial action in support of conditions or pattern agreements, negotiated by others, being imposed upon them.”, known as the BOOT, for enterprise agreements was not working but warned that did not justify “radical change”. However, she stressed that the proposed multi-employer deals would not be sector-wide and would be an opt-in for small business.
