Could there be one good by-product of WorkChoices? - Apparently all the bullshit that goes into workplace documents that is supposed to make work sound all rewarding, cosy, secure and equal - can be considered to be part of a job contract. This is according to an article by Nick O'Mally Weasel words warning to bosses. http://www.smh.com.au/text/articles/2006/02/03/113895ses8911095.html. If it is part of job contract, then employers can be sued for breaking the contract if the job doesn't match up.
It's not the sueing that interests me - I wonder if it will sharpen up employee's perceptions of their relationship to their managers and bosses if companies cannot afford the legal risk of the sugar-coating on the pill?
