Government Plans To Slash Benefits To Bone
from the newswire:
"Workers are being increasingly "worked to death" under workplace changes
initiated by the federal Liberal Party. The average number of hours served
by citizens has been increasing for a number of years, concurrent with a
party war against workers' rights. The right to sue for employer-induced
accident or death is gradually being trimmed to non-existence, while
stress-induced disease and suicide are escalating."
"Secret plans by many members of the Liberal Party include the abolition of
a minimum wage, creating a completely deregulated framework for effective
slavery. This is synchronous with the abolition of the welfare system,
which the government quietly agreed to some years ago in the GATS treaty
(General Agreement for Trades and Services), a U.S.-created initiative to
increase the profits of politicians and their friends by murdering benefits
recipients. In GATS' home-country, the minimum wage is $5 per hour, which
will soon be deregulated." [Full story]
