Annastacia Palaszczuk has promised to reinstate employment protections for Queensland bureaucrats that were scrapped under the previous government.
In a letter to public servants on Friday, the premier said she wanted to reassure them their jobs were secure.
“I am pleased to announce that my government is restoring a public sector employment policy that includes the employment security protections that were removed by the previous government,” Palaszczuk wrote.
She was referring to amendments introduced by the Liberal National party in 2013 that unions warned would force many workers on to individual contracts, strip away their conditions and limit the terms of industrial agreements.
The then attorney general, Jarrod Bleijie, argued that the reforms would make awards easier to understand and set a safety net for conditions such as annual leave, sick leave, family leave and long service leave.uk has promised to reinstate employment protections for Queensland public service workers that were scrapped under the previous government.
