New Industrial Laws: how will they affect you?

 
The Howard Government has gained control of the Senate giving them the power to push through legislation without the checks and balances that have existed in the past. The Government has said it will use its new Senate powers to take away many of your basic rights at work.
The changes will affect workers from all industries across Australia and include cuts to annual leave, abolishing dismissal laws, keeping minimum wages low and introducing individual contracts.
