O’Dwyer stacks independent umpire with bosses

The peak body for working people in Australia condemns the actions of the Minister for Jobs and Industrial Relations Kelly O’Dwyer, who has stacked the independent Fair Work Commission with six new big-business lobbyists in the last days of her failing government.

These appointments are reportedly against the express wishes of the Fair Work Commissioner and go directly against the intended function of the commission as an independent body.

This takes the “balance” of appointments to the commission to 30 business representatives, with only 14 representatives of working people.

Kelly O’Dwyer and her government are grossly out of touch with working people and will stop at nothing to appease their friends in big business.

Quotes attributable to ACTU Secretary Sally McManus:

“This is a disgraceful abuse of power. Kelly O’Dwyer is using the dying days of her ministry to stack the supposedly independent umpire with big business lobbyists.

“She is stacking the body that is supposed to protect the pay and rights of working people with representatives from the big business lobby against the wishes of the president of that body.

“These six appointments will result in a Fair Work Commission that is almost two-thirds comprised of people who’ve spent their lives attacking working people’s rights as big business lawyers and lobbyists.” Sad

Raze fair work to ground

X 2 - if Bill doesn't sack the lot he is a wimp... I'll bet they have locked-in contracts'...

This is the kind of minefield Liberal parties lay for the more likely incoming opposition party - sign onto as many locked-in contracts as possible and then screech about huge costs when the incoming lot either cancel them and are forced to pay out heaps, or screech inaction when the incoming lot are forced to endure the evils of the stacked contracted position, whether it be a road or whatever. Liberals did it in Victoria, and forced a payout to mates of billions without a sod turned over a stupid road contract through Malbun....

Straight out of the Liberal playbook - I'd just cancel the bloody lot and pay them nothing and be damned.... but the suck-hole 'courts' will uphold the 'legitimately entered into' contracts.. you bet, and anything else would cause screeches of 'Communist Oppressors' to the rooftops!

Bring Back The Guillotine! Is no man - is no contract..... Moskva Rules....

The contracts can be cancelled if the FWC is abolished or the legislation is otherwise changed to allow it.

The idea that commissions can be stacked like this by the incumbent government is appalling. They cannot be held to account.

This is why we should consider alternative models.

A model that is workable is that they are appointed by the parliament, not the government. All that requires is a change of the legislation, and the legislation includes a clause that all current FWC appointees must be re-confirmed by the Parliament within a certain time or their appointment will be terminated without compensation beyond standard redundancy pay.
