Sep 12, 2005 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Some fishy Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) labour-hire practices have been criticised in court. In 2002 all of the

bank's Premium Financial Services unit employees were transferred to CommSec, where they performed exactly the same work for the CBA, but with less pay and fewer rights. The

Federal Court has found that CommSec effectively behaved as a labour-hire business. CBA has been told that it must

cease forcing employees to move between its businesses, and it may have to pay extensive fines.
