The changes proposed under Clause 26 make it virtually impossible to vary contracts if negotiations with employees cannot be agreed with the employer. It will be very difficult to prove the conditions stated in Clause 26, which are that the business must be in financial difficulty, or that without change the business will be unable to continue as a going concern or, finally, that change is totally unavoidable. All these conditions could be a matter of opinion and cause further disagreement and delay between the parties.
