Undermine cooperation and happiness in workplaces. Undermine the livelihood of self-employed workers. Mike Nahan said.
Victorian workers have their wages regulated through two parallel systems.
1A workers work almost exclusively in the small and micro business community. The destruction of 1A by creating a complicated Vic IR type commission threatens the higher pay rates of these workers. The creation of a Vic IR type system will waste money and fail to address the direct and specific needs of country, micro and small business people. No evidence has been presented that shows the benefit of creating a Vic IR type commission. In fact the worry is that it will create disadvantage.
