Another Attack on Business

Their incompetence often masks the ideological intent of the Albanese government.

We're all so focused on responding to the latest crisis that it's easy to miss the foundations they are laying that will seriously damage Australia.

With the alliance between big business and big government growing more substantial, the future looks bleak for successful small and medium businesses. They are increasingly finding themselves in the firing line.

Such is the Labour Party's cunningness (and the opposition's laziness) that most businesses don't even know what's coming their way.

Intrepid business columnist Robert Gottleibsen broke a story that should have all independent business operators very scared.

Gottleibsen combed through 700 pages of Industrial Relations law to identify some serious areas of concern he wrote about in The Australian.

These include:

1. Unions will have the power to appoint a delegate to any business employing at least one person. 
2. Union delegates must be consulted on all significant workplace changes, including rosters and any process or procedure in which employees are entitled to be represented, including resolution of grievances or disputes, performance management and disciplinary processes.
3. Employers must give Union delegates access to space to do their work and to use the workplace communication system. 

These changes are set to be implemented in just a month or so (August 26).
