Over 380,000 small building and construction businesses and subcontractors will be pleased to learn that the Fair Work Ensuring Integrity No.2 Bill 2019 will be back on the agenda for Senate consideration early in 2020, following its passage through the House of Representatives earlier today.
Master Builders Australia CEO Denita Wawn said, “We welcome the passage of the Bill through the lower house and the important signal it sends to small businesses and subbies in our industry.”
“We will be continuing to urge key members of the Senate crossbench to support the Ensuring Integrity laws,” she said.
“A vote on the Bill as soon as possible in 2020 be a chance for them to stand up for small business and say no to building union bullying and intimidation,” Denita Wawn said.
“The facts are that some organisations and officials will think last week’s Senate outcome is a green light to continue bullying, intimidation and thuggery, so the passage of the Bill through the House shows that the Parliament is serious about taking action,” Denita Wawn said.
