I need to know....

Wow, I didn't think I'd see it but Booney has officially turned into that 16 year old girl that posts something cryptic on facebook about her fake so-called friends that turned out to be snakes, but doesn't actually say what happened and when anyone asks just provides a vague response or 'it's not even worth talking about'.

[Disclaimer: In reality I'm just nosey and want Booney to post all the details cause gossip is more enjoyable than working.]

I'm reticent to post too much, but I'm happy to send you a PM if you're interested?

I don't know much about employee contracts but what I do know is that amongst all the coronavirus crisis the government was able to slip in amendments that were extremely favourable to businesses and not so the employee, especially in regards to changing existing employment contacts.

I believe there were multiple amendments that made the 'stand down laws' as simple as they are.

Unless the employee agreed to them they didn't happen.

I'm very quickly becoming quite understanding of employment / work place agreements.

I'm not sure thats 100% correct.

Precedent with the health care industry making flu shots mandatory as part of their employees contract.

Existing health care workers with pre existing contracts were 'forced to have the jab' or find another job. I believe this was tested in the courts from employees not wanting the jab but they failed miserably.

The same has happened regarding Working with Children Checks. This is now mandatory in all health and fitness facilities. This has become government law and those who were employed previous to this rule are required to obtain one to continue employement regardless of whether they agree or not. Their contract and mandatory certifications has been changed by law mid employment contract.

I work for a not for profit organisation who manage recreation facilities and in the tender business and on many occasions we take over management of previously Council managed facility.

As a rule of thumb Council facilities pay a much higher pay rate than us. Once our management contract begins though they are required to have a contract with us according to our ECA. Their Council contract and conditions become completely null and void. It's normally a mixed bag because we have a high level of permenant staff so staff generally get offered permanency opportunities but are required to take a hourly rate cut. This can get pretty heated when they were a casual getting regular permanent hours previously

Work place agreements and legislation ( such as working with children noted above ) aren't the same thing.

Fair call.

Would it be more comparable to the below situation.

Anyone have mobile phones on Optus. We are unable to make phone calls at the moment, wife and daughter also have mobile phones with Optus and cant make calls either. Anyone know of any outages with phone systems? Tried contacting Optus via chat as cant ring them obviously but that was useless and got nowhere

I cannot make calls either

Mines fine, just made a couple of calls in the last hour.
Either its back up or it doesnt impact on me as 5g works?

Switch to Vodafone. They'll render your number completely uncallable.

Tangentially, I got a bill from Vodafone last night, despite quitting their "service" and paying out my handset. The bill was for $0.00. I should send them a cheque for that amount, just for shits and giggles...

Hmmmm, tempting if it gets me out of some extra shifts!

Things didn't turn out too badly, managed to wangle another day in the front bar and get out of closing tonight.
Did well, in bed at 11.45. Into shower,put work clothes on, put dog out, grab bike from the back and get to work for 12.03 start.
Pub smells of burnt rubber and oil thanks to my effort on the bike though.

My work are changing mobile services from Telstra to Vodaphone, as soon as I got the email I thought of your experiences I sent them an email saying I travel thru regional bushfire prone areas for work and feel it would be a safety issue if I lost Telstra, didn't think it would work but it did.

The inner-east will be fine provided they keep their quinine levels up by quaffing boutique gin and tonics by the gallon.

I got a notice advising there were issues that may impact my service (4g) but didn't have any problems.

From their site:

We are currently investigating an issue impacting some Optus mobile customers making and receiving 4G voice calls.
Your mobile service may be interrupted during this time. We'll let you know when everything is back in working order.
Try setting your handset to 3G, or enable Wi-Fi Calling. Use our device guides if you need help with these steps.

We completed some Optus work midweek and we’re delayed because they had a nationwide Embargo on. Wonder if this all coincides with each other. I’ve been doing some upgrades to the mobile transmission upgrades but generally only one site is effected so sounds like they had an unknown outage.
