As Christopher Wood (Work Foundation) argues:
'Instead of succumbing to pressure & rowing back on key employment rights reforms, the [Govt.'s] focus must be on rebuilding the household spending power upon which foundational services rely on to grow';
instead of seeing workers as a cost to be reduced the Govt. need to embrace the notion that a well-paid workforce with 'good' jobs (better terms & conditions) can stoke the required 'effective demand'!
