Coming Events
Research Tuesdays: sharing great research with the community Who's the Boss? An exploration of the ongoing tug-of-war between fairness and flexibility in the Australian workplace. When Labor swept to power in 2007 it carried a clear mandate to bury the Howard government's controversial Work Choices reforms. Its Fair Work legislation, which took effect in July 2009, was eagerly anticipated by those seeking a more equitable balance between employee rights and employer flexibility. But 8 months on, controversy remains. Some say Fair Work delivers. Some say it's little different. Others, including Opposition leader Tony Abbott, say it goes too far. So how has Fair Work changed labour laws? What are its implications? And can the Coalition present a deregulatory alternative without reigniting community protest? As another election looms, the University of Adelaide's Professor Andrew Stewart presents a timely exploration of these important issues. WHEN: 5.30-6.30pm Tuesday 9 March
WHERE: Napier Building, lecture Theatre G03, North Terrace Campus
