This article starts off with the comment
NEWSAGENTS claim the scrapping of individual contracts and new rules requiring them to employ delivery staff for three hours a day is a "hammer blow" to their businesses.
It then goes on to say
It also has the potential to toss out of work retired and semi-retired folk who like to work a couple of hours a day.
It is not a potential, I know many newsagents now, who have already tossed out retired, semi-retired, students etc. Many have as a result changed their shop hours.
Baring a change in government, going from federal Workplace Relations Minister Julia Gillard comment I doubt the government will move.
