The Issue. Alcohol misuse is recognised as a major social problem. It is a truly cross-cutting issue which pervades all sectors of our community and places significant and disproportionate demands on many Community Planning Partners – both in terms of budgets and operational resources. More importantly, it adversely affects the lives and opportunities of thousands of Glaswegians in terms of health, jobs, education, crime, violence, anti-social behaviour, fire and housing. The contributory role that alcohol plays in a wide range of adverse social consequences has been well documented in reports by the Director of Public Health, Chief Constable and Chief Fire Officer. Given its cross-cutting nature, alcohol misuse can only be addressed through a strong partnership response. The CPP is ideally placed to bring additional collective resources to bear on the identified outcomes and deliver local solutions whilst also working with Scottish Government and other national bodies to influence the national policy, legislative, and cultural agendas. Specifically, the opportunity exists for a high level political, civic and multi-agency focus to the challenge of improving the city’s relationship with alcohol, and sustaining this focus and commitment for lifetime of the ten year Single Outcome Agreement. Glasgow has the highest alcohol-related hospital admissions rate to acute services in Scotland (1,488 per 100,000) and also the highest alcohol-related death rate (77.8 per 100,000). Alcohol- related mortality has nearly tripled since the early 1980s and alcohol-related hospital admissions have more than quadrupled in Glasgow. Glasgow has one of the fastest growing liver cirrhosis mortality rates in the world and has experienced a substantial rise in alcohol-related harm. Around 40% of Accident & Emergency attendances in Glasgow are alcohol related. The Mental Health in Focus5 report from Glasgow Centre for Population Health reports that mental health-related alcohol deaths are 23% higher in Glasgow City compared with Scotland. The harm caused by current patterns of use of alcohol is extensive, with negative outcomes ranging across health (increased mortality and morbidity), child development and child protection, family wellbeing (e.g. creating major burdens of care for family members as well as services), safety and criminal justice including social disorder and domestic violence, economic and employment related impacts, environmental (e.g. litter) and threats to community wellbe...

The Issue. The issue is a growing tendency towards an overly technical interpretation of the Regulations as a means to refuse the formal approval of enterprise agreements. Specifically, minor deviations from the precise content of the legislative form at Schedule 2.1 of the Regulations (the Notice of Employee Representational Rights) have been interpreted by some Court and Commission members to amount to a fatal defect in the legislated enterprise agreement making process. This is in turn relied on as a basis for refusing the formal approval of a growing number of enterprise agreements otherwise validly made by an employer, its employees and their representatives. To date, this interpretation and the serious consequence of enterprise agreement rejection has flowed from a typo, a staple or inconsequential human error in completing unpopulated sections of the legislated form. There are good legal arguments to justify this approach as wrong. The already litigated cases demonstrate the practical nonsense. In any event, such interpretation is inconsistent with the objects of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (Act) to “provide workplace relations laws that are fair to working Australians, are flexible for businesses, promote productivity and economic growth for Australia’s future (and) economic prosperity” and “to enable the FWC to facilitate good faith bargaining and the making of enterprise agreements”. In contrast, XXXX is concerned about a number of instances where Commission members have approved applications for enterprise agreements with knowledge of a minor deviation from the precise content of the form and in circumstances where a union bargaining representative does not object. This demonstrates some level of discretion that is not fairly or consistently applied where employees choose alternate representation. The real impact on the Australian community This issue requires the Minister’s immediate attention given the impact on a wide number of employers across the resources, hospitality, retail, services, manufacturing and indeed all other sectors, which are increasingly having applications for enterprise agreement approvals rejected due to this issue which bears no impact on genuinely agreed terms and conditions. AMMA cautions this trend towards the overly technical interpretation described above, which in practice, means that: • Enterprise agreements already in operation, following formal approval, are at risk of being unwound via a judicial review process; and • En...

The Issue. Our immigration system locks up hundreds of thousands of immigrants unnecessarily every year, separating people from their loved ones and subjecting them to inhumane conditions of confinement. • ICE detention agreements entangle state and local agencies with federal immigration enforcement, propping up an unjust system and undermining the sovereignty of the Commonwealth. • Across the country, 287(g) agreements turn local police and sheriffs into de facto ICE agents. This means even the most minor interactions with local law enforcement can lead to detention, deportation, and family separation. THE SOLUTION An Act relative to Massachusetts state sovereignty would: • Ensure that Massachusetts money and resources are used for state and local priorities, not federal immigration enforcement. • Prohibit all Massachusetts entities, including sheriffs, from starting or renewing contracts with ICE to rent bed space for immigration detention. • Prohibit all Massachusetts entities from donating state employee time to ICE via 287(g) agreements. • Require local law enforcement to seek and receive written authorization from the Governor before signing any other contracts with the federal government.

The Issue. Due to the increasing desire to have Quality Agreements in place, there has been a trend to use templates to get a large number of agreements in place quickly. Many companies have developed their own generic Quality Agreement templates. Unfortunately, these individual templates have often been designed to cover multiple types of services (stability testing, raw material testing, API testing) or products (APIs, intermediates, pharmaceutical excipients, and even packaging components). As a consequence, there have been extensive discussions between companies, and significant time and resources spent during all the review loops. At the end the complexity on both sides has considerably increased due to the high degree of diversity of agreements to be maintained. It is a real challenge for all organisations to keep control over all the individual agreements and commitments made between the various parties (as regards, e.g., timelines, document provisions, notifications vs. prior approvals).
