Business survey finds no benefits from chopping unfair dismissal laws12 July 2005A new survey has found that extra jobs will not be created by getting rid of unfair dismissal laws for people in businesses with less than 100 employees. The Federal Government has repeatedly claimed that the laws are an impediment to job growth. However, the July 2005 D&B National Business Expectations Survey released today reveals that 81% of businesses believe the Federal Government's proposed changes to unfair dismissal laws will have no impact on their intentions to employ more staff. A further 2% state they are not likely to employ more staff as a result of the proposed changes. ACTU President Sharan Burrow said: "These survey results add to the already significant body of evidence showing that the Federal Government's claim that abolishing unfair dismissal protections for Australian workers is important to the economy and will create jobs is nothing but hollow propaganda. "The Government's proposed changes to unfair dismissal laws won't create more jobs but it will create job insecurity for Australian working families. "John Howard's unfair dismissal plan would leave more than 3.6 million Australians without any protection from unfair dismissal. This will hurt job security and harm families. "The Government's changes to workplace laws are a backward step for working Australians at a time when many families are already struggling just to keep their heads above water." |
