Unfair dismissal for all workers

"Australia's largest companies will also be able to use the Government's IR laws to unfairly sack workers.

"These laws will give big business enormous new powers to fire workers at will. What this means is that no worker is safe from the impact of the Government's new unfair dismissal laws.
