The Senate has voted to reverse Sunday penalty rates cuts by the Fair Work Commission, with Labor and the Greens to push the Lower House to back the reversal.
Employment Minister Michaelia Cash opposed amendments, attached to a bill scrapping four yearly award reviews, which said the commission decision be overturned.
The amendments also prevented penalty rates being made lower than the award rate as at June 30 this year.
Labor and the Greens voted with several crossbenchers to get the amendments passed.
