Chairman Andrew Forrest reckons his staff are unlikely to unionise, as workplace reforms bring unions back into the nation’s most lucrative export industry.
Fortescue executive chairman Andrew Forrest says a culture of freedom and camaraderie at the iron ore miner means staff are unlikely to unionise, as the Albanese government’s workplace reforms bring unions back into the nation’s most lucrative export industry for the first time in decades.
