A pay slip exposes a divisive issue occurring in Australia with wages that’s claimed to leave some people worse off.
The pay slips from two boners working at Australian Country Choice in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs in February exposes a divisive pay issue in Australia – the use of labour hire companies, which the federal opposition claims exploits casual workers, but the government says is crucial to business.
Last month Labor introduced a private members’ bill to ensure people get the “same pay for the same job” with regard to labour hire firms, which supply employees to other businesses on a fee or contract basis.“The Morrison government reckons this is just a ‘made up issue’,” Mr Burke said.“Workers doing the same job should get the same pay, it’s that simple.”
“In that instance that’s important because they are not a transient worker, they’re the kind of skilled people you want to hang on to.” “We’re obsessed with doing the right thing, our whole business is built on integrity because that’s the new norm in the industry.” He said they needed some of their workforce to be flexible due to fluctuations in the market outside their control.
