Greens MP Adam Bandt has welcomed Minister Shorten's announcement of the make up of the Fair Work Act Review but warned the Greens would oppose any attempts by big business to water down protection for workers.
Mr Bandt also said the review should look at how the right to request flexible working hours could be extended to all workers, not just parents with small children.
"Ensuring the flexibility agenda is extended to workers' hours should be a central part of this review."
"Putting job security into the heart of the Fair Work Act is also a big priority for the Greens."
"It is clear that many big employers and the Coalition want to use this review as part of their campaign for a return to Work Choices. The Greens will oppose any such moves."
