Letters to the Editor A Question Of Choice
It is quite interesing that the prime minister claims that "it will never be the policy of this government to deny people a choice". The Federal department charged with carrying out policy on industrial relations, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations makes no secret of the fact that it will only employ new staff on the basis of those persons accepting an Australian Workplace Agreement. This also leave a problem with merit selection in the public sector - if 10 persons are rated in order of merit after a selection exercise and the first 9 refuse an Australian Workplace Agreement - this is in spite of the fact that the department has a Certified Agreement in place. Choice is not for employees only for employers!. David Questel NSW
