Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) Secretary Sally McManus said the union movement welcomed the passing of major parts of the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Bill 2023, which comes as an early Christmas present for working people.
“The Australian public understand that this legislation delivers better rights for workers which deliver better wages during the cost-of-living crisis,” Ms McManus said.
“These changes will make work a safer place to be and give workers a pay boost at a time where they really need it,” she said.
