>From SBS:
"Industrial Relations is the current battleground in the lead up to
the next Federal Election.
But who's winning the war?
Insight will hear from both sides; the employers and the employees,
all working with Work Choices.
Both parties promise to deliver 'fairness' with the Fair Pay
Commission, Forward with Fairness and the Fairness Test; but who's
really going to get a fair go?
Does the Federal Government's "fairness test" go far enough?
We'll take a forensic look at what the workplace might look like under
Labor.
We'll investigate how working conditions have changed under the new
Workplace Laws and how extensively employers are using Australian
Workplace Agreements.
INSIGHT'S "Hard Yakka" will bring together the Shadow Minister for
Workplace Relations Julia Gillard, Peter Hendy from the Australian
Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Steve Knott from the Australian
Mines and Metals Association
"HARD YAKKA" will be broadcast on TUESDAY JUNE 5TH 7.30pm on SBS.
REPEAT FRIDAY 1:30PM AND MONDAY 2:30PM. "
