Today we are one step closer to having a truly modern award for the restaurant, cafe and catering industry.
On the 29th May 2009, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Australian Industrial Relations Commission to create a separate modern award covering the restaurant and catering industry.
In the same request Minister Gillard requested that the Commission 'take account of the specific operational requirements of the industry'. In particular the Deputy Prime Minister requires the Commission to 'establish a penalty rate and overtime regime that appropraitely recgnises the restaurant and catering industry's core trading times and loabour intensive nature'.
This is a very significant action for the Deputy Prime Minister to have taken. This will mean that the industry now has the opportunity, through the Industrial Relations Commission, to argue for a truly MODERN AWARD.
Restaurant & Catering Australia wants to thank the Deputy Prime Minister for understanding that this labour intensive industry needs effective employment arrangements and for acting to ensure this is the case in the future.
We the undersigned join with Restaurant & Catering Australia to thank the Deputy Prime Minister for understanding that this labour intensive industry needs effective employment arrangements and for acting to ensure this is the case in the future.
