Bill & Laws * Australia - Union raids to rise
The Rudd Government introduced the Fair Work Bill to supersede the previous government’s WorkChoices regime, which curtailed union access to workplaces
Sydney, Australia -fullyloaded/ATN, by Brad Gardner -27 April 2008: -- Businesses are being told to prepare for a massive increase in union raids from July this year when new industrial relations laws take effect... In a warning to businesses, Cooper Grace Ward Lawyers’, Heinz Lepahe, says “unions are starting to ramp up now a campaign of workplace visitations” in anticipation of the Fair Work Bill’s introduction... Lepahe says the Bill’s provisions will result in greater union presence because union delegates will be able to access non-union employees and demand company records on the basis of a suspected breach... Hughie Williams from the Queensland branch of the Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) says he will be paying close attention to non-unionised businesses, claiming they often pay poor rates and have a poor approach to health and safety...* Registration fees and road user charge to rise from July 1
Canberra,AUST -ATN, by Brad Gardner -22 April 2009: -- Trucking operators will be slugged with higher registration fees from July 1, as the Rudd Government pushes for an increase in the road user charge at the same time... The National Transport Commission (NTC) has recommended a 3.2 percent increase in registration fees, claiming it is justified on the basis of increased government expenditure on the road network... B-double operators will be most affected by the increase, with fees rising almost $3,000, from $9,330 to $12,214. Semi-trailer fees will jump $240, from $5,070 last financial year to $5,310 this year... These increases will coincide with a hike in the road user charge from 21 cents a litre to 21.7 cents, leading to a drop in the fuel tax credit from 17.1 cents per litre to 16.4 cents per litre...
