More than 500,000 Victorians will have their working conditions protected by a standard to be introduced by the Bracks Government if it retains power.
Premier Steve Bracks yesterday promised a new pay and conditions standard to protect workers from the Federal Government's new workplace laws, which he said under- mined job security and work conditions.
The standard will guarantee rights such as annual leave loading, extra pay for working overtime, penalty rates and flexible family provisions.
Estimated to cover about 25 per cent of Victorian workers, it will be legally binding in workplaces not covered by federal awards, such as some charitable organisations, unincorporated sporting clubs and workers in partnerships.
