Work-Life Balance

Dutton wants less flexibility and more unpaid overtime for workers – by taking away the Right to Disconnect and work from home.

Right to Disconnect

The Right to Disconnect gives workers the right to say no to unreasonable contact from their boss outside their working hours.

Research shows it has reduced workers' unpaid overtime by 33% since being introduced last year. (1)

Dutton’s Coalition voted against the new workplace right and has promised Big Business he will repeal it, if he gets elected.

Working from Home

Big Business are telling Dutton to cut working from home rights for public sector workers, if he wins the election.

Why? Because Big Business thinks “The last thing we need is for their ‘stay at home first’ attitude to infect our broader economy.” (2)

In other words: Big Business wants their workers back in the office and they know that you can only take working from home rights off public sector workers by taking rights off all workers!

A Dutton-led Government will bow to Big Business pressure on this, because they have on other workplace rights.

Dutton and the Coalition voted against strengthening work from home rights, which have boosted employment for women. (3)
