Workplace Fairness
Labor believes in fairness at work as a fundamental Australian value.
Work is one of the most important parts of our lives, which besides its contribution to economic output also contributes to personal financial security, identity and a sense of community. Fairness at work includes:
-
A strong safety net of minimum conditions.
-
The right to bargain collectively for decent wages and conditions.
-
Access to an independent industrial umpire to ensure fair wages and conditions and help resolve disputes.
-
The right to join a union and be represented by a union.
-
Protection from unfair dismissal.
