Miners hit back at ‘amateur-hour’ union analysis of profits and wages in industrial relations stoush

The mining sector has accused unions of resorting to “amateur-hour denigration” of the resources industry amid the ongoing stoush over industrial relations changes.

Minerals Council of Australia boss Tania Constable lashed out at a union analysis of the claimed cost of the Government’s planned crackdown on the use of labour hire, saying it ignored the broader benefits of the sector’s success.
