Abbott threatening Fair Entitlements Guarantee for workers

That was set up by the Rudd gov wasn't it? Where workers can get their entitlements if the bosses go under. Abbott now wants to mess with it.

 

Update:

Looks like the unions have sorted it all out in the senate after sending a delegation with real people from real companies that went under :)

Officials from the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union and the Textile Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia (TCFUA) said they had beaten the Government to the punch. 

"We've had commitments directly given to the union and the delegation of workers that were affected from Ricky Muir, John Madigan, Nick Xenophon and the PUP senators," TCFUA national secretary Michele O'Neil said. 

"And the PUP party room had resolved as a whole to oppose the legislation." more

Another bit of legislation on the senate scrap heap.
