Weekend Wrap 18th September 2022: RBA admits lack of worker power undermining wages and bosses profiteering

Ben Davison makes the Weekend Wrap a "royal funeral free" zone
and focuses on Insider's short coverage on the Reserve Bank's
appearance at the parliamentary committee and the state of
Australia's economy.


The RBA admits that a lack of worker power has made wage cuts and
profiteering possible while CEO's and executives claim huge
increases for their own pay increases.  Meanwhile the bosses
pamphlet (the Australian Financial Review) claims offshoring jobs
will magically increase local wages, lottery tickets for aged
care workers will relieve staff shortages and that insecure work
isn't a problem but is a good thing!


Ben looks at the explosion in multiple jobs and how Australian's
are now in a worse place than American workers and how California
is moving ahead with multi-employer bargaining to improve worker
wages.

wages and conditions by changing the policy settings so if you
