Cadbury will not affect local jobs in Australia

Written by: parisalexandra - Posted in: Job Articles

The union’s Anne Urquhart is in no doubt that the takeover decision is unlikely to affect workers at the Claremont factory. Workers from the two Cadbury factories are waiting if their jobs might get affected if ever the chocolate-maker by US food giant, Kraft will take over. Last night most of the shareholders made a choice to accept almost $21 billion.

Through the webcast Kraft will correspond with workers at its sites at Claremont in southern Tasmania and Ringwood in Victoria stated by the Manufacturing Workers Union.

Anne Urquhart said that with these changes they will definitely invest a lot of guidance to the local jobs, so it will not affect what they have as of now.

“So we would hope that that would be looked at positively by Kraft but of course it’s early days yet.” She added.

Fair Work might cost 3000 jobs

Written by: parisalexandra - Posted in: Job Articles

Retailers Association stated that, with the new Fair Work rules and regulations it might perhaps be the reason of more than 3000 retail jobs lost in New South Wales, Queensland, the ACT and South Australia reported through Herald Sun. The system is recently started through Federal Government, also the first execution of the country’s primary nationwide workplace relations system.

However Tony Abbot, leader of the opposition with his spokesman Bruce Billson came together with The Retailers Association in Sydney to speak out the concerns and questions in regards with the new system.

“The new cost burdens on small businesses via the Rudd IR laws will cost over 3,000 retail jobs in NSW, Queensland, ACT and South Australia alone,” The Retailers Association national executive director Scott Driscoll said.

Unfortunately, Mr Abbott called for a suspension on trials in opposition to small businesses for unintentional violation on the new administrative centre.

1.2 million Australian market by 2013 from Ford

Written by: parisalexandra - Posted in: Job Articles

CEO, Marin Burela, telling GoAuto those industry sales would reach 1.2 million within three years that Ford Australia will recover in the automotive industry.

Mr Burela said the global financial crisis had caused great upheaval, but the market had already sent signals that it was recovering.

“We kicked off the year, 2009, well up in at 900,000-915,000 units level (in annualised monthly figures), where in the previous November (2008), we were running at about 830, 000,” he said.

At the same time the year may not have been a boom period, Mr Burela said 2009 sales had been strong and 2010 would only be better. 2009, the industry will fall somewhere around 930,000 units. I think 2009 was a year of two halves. The first half was soft, the second half boomed; I think that (second half result) will start to flow through into 2010. In 2010, it will be a 930,000-plus figure, and we’ve been conservative throughout the planning.

The prospect of a first quarter slowdown – due to a pull-foward in the last quarter of 2009 because of the 50 per cent small business investment allowance – was not of concern for Ford.

“It’s okay for the first quarter to be softer; we have planned for it, we’re ready for it.” He added.

According to Mr Burela, beyond this hurdle lay the hope of a growth period.
