澳大利亚工会要求5周最低年假,理由是政策过时和工作与生活平衡差。 Australian unions demand 5-week minimum annual leave, citing outdated policy and poor work-life balance.

澳大利亚工会理事会(ACTU)要求政府将国家最低年假从4周提高到5周, 认为现行标准近50年来没有改变, 也不再反映诸如长时和无薪加班等现代工作要求。 The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is campaigning for the government to raise the national minimum annual leave from four to five weeks, arguing the current standard hasn't changed in nearly 50 years and no longer reflects modern work demands like long hours and unpaid overtime. 澳大利亚的休假政策落后于其他发达国家, 无法支持工人, 特别是管理学校假期的父母。 Led by ACTU Secretary Sally McManus, the push highlights that Australia’s leave policies lag behind other developed nations and fail to support workers, especially parents managing school holidays. 工会指出,这一变化将改善工作与生活的平衡,并使劳工标准符合当今的现实。 The union says the change would improve work-life balance and align labor standards with today’s realities.
