Social Movement Unionism discussion Australian workers rights and union movement

This is a think tank page. Currently the union legislation in Australia has been changed and many people are scared about the uncertainty of their jobs and livelihood. I am currently working on a project that could take a lot of strain and uncertainty. Australia needs to become more transparent.

This is partly achievable by forecasting when workers skills need updating, for example when a job becomes more demanding or when new technology will make current employees competencies redundant. By allowing time for adequate, government subsidised, training the workforce will have the capacity to grow whilst becoming united in strength and versatility. Keeping the workforce one step ahead is essential for triumphing over future adversities all the while being competitive in a global economy.

This system occurs in South Africa. By continuously educating people in jobs they are able to move higher up, creating a circular movement for the up and coming or in Australians case immigrants whilst some retire. With the aging population this could be very beneficial however the process is not currently transparent hence corruption in some sectors is almost a guarantee.

The government is essentially moving away from rewarding complacency, and with less regulation in the unions potential investors are less likely to be intimidated in entering into the market. These changes have create more incentives for employees with the capabilities to take the financial risk in creating a their own business with the benefits out waying the negatives. Whilst in the transitional period many people might feel the adverse effects of these new legislations. The best answer lies in bench-marking every job individually. Those of you who are reading this might think that it is a daunting task and I welcome any concerns or questions

[edit] Union related comments

Why are you addig the same comments to numerous pages? I don't quite understand what you want. Xtra 10:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I am trying to get a discussion on benchmarking all competencies. It is a very big move to do something like this and I know it is something the unions and goverment can agree on. As a result they can both come out of this new legislation looking good and that is rare. I know of a solution however it is something along the 'big brother' direction. The question is how do people in the unions feel about this? Do they feel that something like this will undo all their work or enhance it? Plus I'm giving people the opportunity to raise any objections as I would find them interesting.
