ACTU Charter
25 June, 2007
The ACTU is calling on all state and territory governments along with the Federal Government to adopt minimum health and safety and compensation standards that can work in all workplaces across Australia. A new charter of workplace rights will outline the best approach to ensuring Australian workers are as safe as they possibly can be at work and includes the right of workers to be represented by trade unions on health and safety matters, the right to receive 100 percent income replacement for an injury, and an absolute duty of care on employers to provide healthy and safe workplaces. The charter will assist all levels of government to harmonise their health and safety and workers' compensation legislation to the highest standards
