RESOURCE industry company executives and leading union movement figures will meet on the Gold Coast this week to debate and discuss their views on a range of issues including the country’s workplace laws, skilled migration and employment.
Steve Knott, Chief Executive of resource industry employer group, AREEA, said rather than having a forum where like-minded individuals meet to simply preach to the converted, AREEA’s 2011 National Conference program was designed to generate robust debate and an exchange of ideas between leading employer representatives, union leaders and industry commentators.
