Following their election, the federal government has taken steps to change the employment relations framework across all industries.
So far, the Government’s consultation process has involved the National Jobs Summit (1-2 September) and the Road Transport Roundtable (29 August). A focus of the roundtable was the introduction of a new independent body to set industry safety standards, acknowledging the mistakes of the RSRT. A focus of both meetings includes finding ways to address the issues of insecure work while acknowledging the need for flexible models of business operation in a competitive market.
All QTA members are invited to attend the Third Quarter QTA ER Road Freight Industry Focus Group, to discuss the content and outcomes of those meetings and what they will mean for the industry. Register your attendance by emailing admin@qta.com.au |
