The Fair Work Commission's (FWC) decision
to cut penalty rates for hospitality, retail and fast-food workers
will stand after a case brought by Unions arguing that the
FWC's decision was "legally unreasonable" has been
dismissed by the Full Federal Court.
This means that the public holiday cuts which came into effect
on 1 July this year will stand and the gradual introduction over
several years of the Sunday penalty rate cuts will take place as
ruled by the FWC in February. For more information on the impact of
this, you can read our previous update
