ACTU secretary Sally McManus says the union movement will lobby Senate crossbenchers to vote against legislation aimed at cracking down on unions. Amongst other things, the Federal Government wants to subject union mergers to a public interest test and make it easier to deregister a union. McManus has described the reforms as an "attack on democracy", and she warns that they may breach the International Labour Organization’s convention regarding the right to organise and freedom of association.
