An "Australian Workplace Agreement" (AWA) was a part of the legislation put in place by the Howard Liberal Government to enable employers to legally screw employees out of hundreds of years of Union negotiated terms and conditions and, to ungracefully de-unionise the workforce.
A company employed somebody on a "fixed" contract. Fixed wage, restricted conditions and summary termination of employment with no recourse, at a minutes notice.
The legislation was justly ousted by the Rudd Labour Government.
Tony Abbott has not convincingly ruled out the possiblity that this hangover from 18th century industrial relations will not be brought back on the election of a new Liberal Government.
Improved wages and conditions have never been given by an employer, they have always been achieved by Union activity.
Remember the Tolpuddle Martyrs.
