澳大利亚拒绝将小企业的定义改为在劳工权利关切下为25名雇员的建议。 Australia rejects proposal to change small business definition to 25 employees amid labor rights concerns.
澳大利亚政府由穆雷·瓦特部长领导,拒绝将小企业的定义从15名雇员改为25名的要求,并担心此举会剥夺大约100万工人的工业权利。 The Australian government, led by Minister Murray Watt, has rejected calls to change the definition of small businesses from 15 to 25 employees, citing concerns that such a move would strip industrial rights from around one million workers. 澳大利亚工会理事会警告说,这一变化可能减少不公平的解雇保护,妨碍工人从临时作用向长期作用过渡或收回未付工资的能力。 The Australian Council of Trade Unions warns that this change could diminish unfair dismissal protections and hinder workers' ability to transition from casual to permanent roles or recover unpaid wages.
