Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry CEO James Pearson has called for action on the issue of industrial relations reform. He says ACCI surveys show that over-regulation and the compliance burden are key concerns for its members, and he has called for both sides of politics to put workplace reform on their policy agenda. Pearson also notes that debate on workplace reform is constantly stifled by unions’ claims that it will result in a return to WorkChoices-style workplace laws.
