Tourism Accommodation Australia chairman Martin Ferguson has criticised the Australian Labor Party and the ACTU over their stance on penalty rates. He has accused them of "hypocrisy and dishonesty" for continuing to oppose penalty rate cuts in the wake of revelations that the Shop, Distributive & Allied Employees’ Association has struck deals with large companies to trade-off Sunday penalty rates in return for higher base wages. Ferguson is a former president of the ACTU.
