Business NSW and Australian Business Industrial submitted the commission to give consideration to a new ‘flexible’ category of part-time employment for those industries if it sided with unions to constrain current flexibilities. However, Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary Sally McManus said the proposal “not only erodes the rights of Part-time workers but does nothing to promote job security” Business NSW has told the FWC it will advance its new category if the commission accepts the proposals “to diminish the operability of casual employment”
