| Sumario: | The writer contrasts and compares the labor law environment in the U.S. and Australia, two countries which are closely tied as products of Anglo-Saxon colonization. He notes how the Fair Work Australia system has provided for the disadvantaged and low-paid a minimum-wage commission and the prospect of enterprise bargaining and for contingent workers, a pledge to somehow incorporate them into the system. He suggests that it must be a source of wonderment to Australians that the Democrats could win a sweeping victory in a national election in 2008 and fail to deliver on a key demand of its most important constituency—labor reform. |
