Policy
The ACCI has a workplace relations policy that promotes the use of workplace agreements negotiated on an individual rather than a collective level, and an employment policy that involves "restraining minimum wages". In March 2010 the ACCI opposed an ACTU $27/week wage increase claim for the nation's poorest workers. The ACTU argued this group missed out on a rise due to a wage freeze the previous year, and over this period the average wage had increased by more than $60/week. However, the ACCI said the unions claim was neither fair nor balanced, and suggested a $10–$15 rise instead.

Famous quotes containing the word policy:
“Make Policy Not Coffee”
—Feminist political button, c. 1970. ?....
“A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
