Work-from-home deal 'groundbreaking', but business groups warn of CBD 'death knell'
Working-from-home caps will be scrapped for thousands of Australian public sector workers — but business lobbyists in one capital city say any such moves at local level would be a "death knell" for CBD retail.The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) this week announced it had struck a deal with the Australian Public Service Commission for more flexible working arrangements. The deal includes an agreement to remove caps on the number of days staff can work from home, allowing them to stay at home permanently unless there were "clear business reasons" to refuse a request. "Federal public servants can make a request to work from home," CPSU National Secretary Melissa Donnelly told ABC Radio Perth.
