The desperation of Senator Cameron speaks for itself. The ETU claims that the rostered days off are prohibited. This is simply false. What the ETU does not say is that, under its pattern EBA, a union delegate could veto an employee's agreement with their employer to take their RDO on another day where it suits the worker. The ETU also claims the building code bans agreements providing a day off on Christmas or Easter. This too is false. The ETU claims that industry wage rates will be banned. This, once again, is false. The ETU claims penalty rates will be lost. This, unsurprisingly, is also false. (Time expired)
