Labor dares oppn on workplace bullying THE federal government has dared the opposition to vote down workplace anti-bullying measures in parliament. Labor is struggling to win support from key independents for changes it wants to make to the Fair Work Act. Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott have told the government they won't back any contentious amendments so close to the September election. They will only support changes agreed to by both Labor and the coalition. Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten is not backing down, insisting government legislation to stamp out workplace bullying will be put to a vote in parliament on Wednesday. "We demand that the opposition back the victims of workplace bullying against the bullies," he told reporters in Canberra.
