维多利亚州新总理本·卡罗尔在上任后面临来自商业界的压力,要求审查前任推行的居家办公法案。1卡罗尔在第一天表示将考虑对该法案进行审查,但未完全排除继续支持这一政策的可能性。1维多利亚州商会首席执行官Sally Curtain将该法案称为"就业的毒药"。1据工党消息人士透露,卡罗尔不太可能完全放弃该法案,但可能为小企业增加豁免条款。1该法案预计将于9月生效(如议会通过)。1
当前维多利亚州失业率为5.1%,高于全国平均的4.4%。1除了商业界的呼声外,卡罗尔政府还面临公共部门的工业行动威胁。1公立医院医生中97%的投票者赞成采取工业行动,要求在4年内获得30%的增薪。1教师工会也计划在8月4日进行第三次罢工,要求在3年内获得35%的增薪。1
Victoria's newly appointed Premier Ben Carroll is facing mounting pressure from business leaders to reconsider work-from-home legislation implemented by his predecessor, with Carroll indicating on his first day in office that he is willing to examine the policy without entirely ruling out its continuation 1. Sally Curtain, chief executive of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce, has characterized the legislation as "poison for employment" 1, reflecting widespread business sector concerns about its impact.
The state's unemployment rate currently stands at 5.1%, exceeding the national average of 4.4% 1. According to Labor insiders, Carroll is unlikely to completely abandon the legislation but may introduce additional exemptions for small businesses 1. The work-from-home bill is set to take effect in September should parliament pass it 1.
Beyond the workplace policy debate, Carroll's government faces mounting industrial action threats from the public sector workforce. Medical staff at public hospitals have voted overwhelmingly, with 97% support, in favor of industrial action demanding a 30% pay increase over four years 1. Teachers' unions have scheduled their third strike for August 4, seeking a 35% pay raise over three years 1.
