In a key development, a well-known workers’ union of Australia has urged the administration to favor the nation’s citizens & permanent residents in a fresh law allegedly tailored to strengthen favoritism laws. Apparently, the Labor administration–under the incumbent Prime Minister Julia Gillard–is making efforts to cut-down 5 acts related to employment prejudice into one, solo consolidated law. The said union has written to the administration to urge them to cover provisions, which give preference to the country’s citizens & permanent residents–should redundancies require to be duly made.

At the present, the recruiters/firms of Down Under enjoy the permission to employ foreign employees; despite the existing stipulation that they can do so only when the appropriate labour cannot be sourced from the local labour market. Still, the workers’ union mentioned before had earlier blamed the construction industry of employing manpower from abroad–just to increase their profit-margins & save money.

Presently, the union favors certain safeguards to be properly put into the latest legislation to make certain that the appeal of the 457 Visa holders is significantly compromised with in front of the nationals & permanent residents of the Kangaroo Land, i.e., Australia, for obvious reasons.

In this connection, a submission made by the union in question has allegedly observed that commonwealth & state anti-favoritism laws ought to unambiguously provide that discrimination by the job-providers/companies in favor of the country’s citizens & and permanent residents not be forbidden by the consolidation laws.
