Penalty
rates help make sure that weekends are a time when most of us can spend time
with family and friends, and those who have to work get some compensation.
Without
penalty rates, employers can treat Saturday and Sunday like any other day.
Already some
of Australia's biggest companies have lined up behind Senator Xenophon's
proposed new laws to slash weekend penalty rates.
The ACTU's Your Rights at Work 'Bin the Bill Xenophon' campaign needs your support to protect penalty rates.
Take action today and
send Senator Xenophon an email telling him that Saturday
and Sunday are not just another day of the week but important days for families
and communities and should be protected.
Please talk to your friends,
family and co-workers to make them aware of Senator Xenophon's plans to slash
weekend and overtime penalty rates and share the
link to email Senator Xenophon .
