Letters to the Editor
Seek and Ye Shall Find
There is an epidemic under Howard's umbrella, for business to offer more jobs on a downgraded employee's work conditions
As a job seeker I see it on everyday basis it is a trend.
There is a unified co-operation and direction to lower conditions and wages, planed by government executed by business. It suits business Australia and the Federal Government. The push on behalf of the government is to work under any terms in order to claim lower unemployment.
It is selfishly for the political benefit of business and government-orchestrated on the back of millions of good Australian workers.
The skill shortages are also a false claim of the government to push pay down.
The unions know about it and it is your job to distribute the facts, the potential damage and danger to Australian employees from this biased government.
One thing never to forget: Jobs first to Australians and more important: job sovereignty to Australians
Cheers
Honest employee
