and
AWA's.
(please distribute as widely as possible)
UNSW Student Guild President, Xavier O'Halloran today announced his full
support for Workchoices and AWA's.
He told staff today that he was in full support of Workchoices and that
AWA's would be the only form of agreement in the new student
organisation
at UNSW.
He also stated that he thought the whole workforce should be on AWA's
and
that giving current staff one days notice that they were to be made
redundant as he has done today is entirely reasonable and in keeping
with
his philosophy of individual responsibility.
When queried why he had spent tens of thousands of dollars on legal
advice
to investigate cutting staff entitlements and implementing AWA's he
responded by stating that AWA's give employers appropriate control over
their staff.
He also stated that he did not believe that collective agreements were
appropriate in Australia.
In addition, he indicated that the Student Guild would be fully
supporting
the implementation of AWA's for all academic staff at the University
next
year.
When confronted with the fact that the Howard government will be
delighted
with his position he responded:
"Well they won't know if you don't tell them"
Do you agree with Xavier O'Halloran? If not why not drop him a line and
let him know what you think of his 'Workchoices/AWA' roll out on:
