Sue Bradford speaks on the 90 Day "fire at will" Bill

Nationals bid to push its 90-day bill through under urgency this week is a disgraceful attack on both workers rights and on democracy. Green Party Industrial Relations Spokesperson Sue Bradford says legislation of this significance should go through the full select committee process.

Totally disagree you should be able to test drive a employee before you hire him, if he talks well at a interview but them proves to be useless or worse dangerous, see you later.

Sue's comments on why this bill should have gone through select committee review are right on the money. I could have done with less of the playing on emotions, but her points stand to reason.

I DIsagree the rules...

@strainedcalf1 That might be ok in theory, but there is nothing to stop an unfair dismissal of an employee. Somebody shouldn't be fired without a good reason, it could mean that their whole lives and financial affairs could be sent into chaos, particulary if they are feeding a family or they have bills to pay, and there is nothing to stop a boss discriminating or firing somebody for personal reasons. 90 days of uncertainty is 90 days too many.
