Mony wasted by the ridiculous industrial relations process we have in place.
If someone *refuses* to comply with *lawful* requirements of management,
then they have no business keeping that job. If those requirements are
unsafe, there are mechanisms in place (workCover, etc) to enusre that those
requirements are no longer *lawful*. If you do not want to do what your
employer tells you to do (as long as it is lawful) then find another
employer, quite simple really.

Someone who will not comply with lawful directions from their employer is
riff-raff.

AGree there. But if you don't like the conditions that management wants you
to work under, why not find another job?
