AWAs - where are they taking Australian workers
We've seen some much publicised disputes in recent years [BHP, Waterfront,
etc] around the issue of individual contracts & the right to collectively
bargain. And some unexpected wins in the courts which have given workers &
their unions a breather in this dispute. But what's happening on the ground
for workers in less high-profile workplaces/industries where AWAs are often
forced on workers under the guise of a generous "offer", with workers not
really finding out the down-side of individual contracts until it's too
late. We look at two examples of how workers are faring under AWAs.
Tasrail - Roger Jowett [National Secretary, Rail, Tram & Bus Union]
Bevpak - Jennifer Dowell [Organiser, AMWU NSW]
Older workers
What can workers expect to face as they age & how should we be valuing &
protecting older workers in Australia?
Sharon Hoogland [Wesley Mission, Sydney] - about a report entitled "Faces
of Aging" which looks at the experiences of older workers in the
International Year of the Older Person [speaking to Bill Hartley]
Stella Giles [Western Older Workers] works with older workers in
Melbourne's Western suburbs & talk about what workers can offer in later
years if given 1/2 a chance [speaking to James McKenzie, 3CR's "Strikeback"
program]
