Changing the Rules: new powers for workers, or for institutions?

In this podcast I discuss some clues about behind the scenes discussions between leaders of the ACTU and the ALP. Right now, behind the scenes meetings are discussing the new industrial and workplace relations rules that might be introduced by a new ALP government. This activity will continue right up to ALP National Conference in December, and afterwards.

Our focus is on a recent speech by ACTU Secretary Sally McManus, and a recent interview with ALP spokesperson for Workplace Relations, Brendan O’Connor. These provide some clues about whats happening now.

We also discuss: is this something that activists in the Change Rules campaign should discuss and speak up about?
