ALP makes first move to wind back Work Choices

The Rudd Labor Government will ban AWAs in the federal public service, allow parties to pre-Work Choices agreements to extend them for up to three years, extend the life of NAPSAs, ban the unilateral termination of collective agreements, retain the Work Choices exceptional circumstances test for deals that fail the new no disadvantage test, and allow ITEAs to be offered on a take it or leave it basis, in its IR transitional bill introduced into parliament today by Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard.
