Show Notes
Australian unions advocate for increased paid annual leave, proposing five weeks for full-time workers and six for shift workers. This move aims to address the issue of unpaid overtime, with Australians currently working an average of four and a half weeks of extra hours annually. However, business groups criticize the idea, citing productivity concerns and potential administrative burdens. The government is also reviewing minimum work standards, including annual leave, amidst a persistent overwork culture.
