Richard Wagstaff: Council of Trade Unions president on Fair Pay Agreements legislation in Parliament - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

A once-in a generation shift for workers' rights.

The Fair Pay Agreements legislation is expected to pass its third reading in Parliament later today.

The rules will mean if a thousand employees, or 10 percent of a workforce, agree to start the collective bargaining process, that process is automatically triggered.

Council of Trade Unions President Richard Wagstaff says it's going to make an impact in industries where employers are in a race to the bottom.
