‘Goliath is the unions’: Small business the new battleground as jobs bill passes lower house

Workplace Relations Minister Tony Burke has left room to raise the threshold for small businesses to be pulled into multi-employer deals ahead of a looming Senate fight over Labor’s divisive industrial relations bill after it passed the lower house despite a wall of vocal opposition.

Asked during a press conference whether he was prepared to make changes to that threshold, Burke said the nature of every Senate negotiation meant “you end up with bills that are not in identical form to the government’s preferred form”. “My daughter works in a cafe on a train platform. You can’t fit more than three people in the cafe, but they have 15 staff,” she said.But Burke said the chance of getting everyone in agreement about workplace relations was “a remote possibility”.

The bill passed 80 votes to 56 with support from the Greens and some independents including Dr Monique Ryan and Zoe Daniel, the latter of whom described the concern over the potential impact on small businesses as being “multipartisan”. Independent Helen Haines also said the size of affected businesses needed to be addressed.

AngusGthompson Interesting the AGE would take this View but on the other hand the Chairman of the board cut his teeth sueing low paid migrant workers in the Dollar Sweets case. 'Let them eat cake'. Says Petey.

AngusGthompson The Age pushing a particular narrative- partial, partisan. Always.

AngusGthompson Labor doesn’t care about small business. It’s the political wing of the Union movement. Which only represents about 14% of workers.

AngusGthompson I love the idea, we need unions to negotiate wages on behalf of workers. Unionism should be compulsory.

Nursing, teaching, public servants, fire, ambulance and police. No-one in small business is in a union. Stop acting like a ridiculous LNP dirtbag rag.
