The Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union has struck the first multi-employer agreement in the private sector since the federal government’s industrial relations reforms were enacted. The in-principle deal with air-conditioning manufacturers is also said to be the first enterprise agreement that allows employers to use a shared labour pool during peak periods. This will require an employer to offer extra work to the permanent staff of other companies that have signed the new agreement. However, Australian Industry Group CEO Innes Willox has expressed concern about such workplace arrangements.
