Martin Ferguson will advocate changes to the Fair Work Act on behalf of the Minerals Council of Australia. He will urge the Federal Government to introduce reforms that would allow workers to sign individual workplace agreements rather than an enterprise agreement if their income is above a certain threshold. Ferguson, a former Labor minister and ex-ACTU president, will argue that individual agreements are already widely used in the mining sector. Other workplace reforms to be proposed by the MCA include changes to the rules on unions’ right of entry and restrictions on adverse actions.
