AUSTRALIAN Greens MP Adam Bandt wants parliament to order an inquiry into whether state public servants get a dud deal compared with their commonwealth counterparts.
Mr Bandt said workers in the public sector were increasingly coming under attack, both through job cuts and difficulties in bargaining over wages and conditions.
"It seems it's OK when it comes to (public sector) employees to come in and rewrite agreements and take away some of their basic termination change and redundancy provisions," he told parliament on Monday.
"That's why we're here debating this motion for an inquiry to shine a light on what's happening in state governments."
Mr Bandt acknowledged that the federal government had taken some steps to protect state workers where it could.
The Senate passed legislation on Monday to protect employees who leave the public sector as a result of asset sales or outsourcing and move to similar jobs under the national workplace relations system.
But he wanted to make sure everything possible was done to ensure state public servants were given all the same protections as federal employees.
Independent MP Bob Katter seconded Mr Bandt's motion.
The opposition's spokeswoman for workforce participation, Sussan Ley, said it was important to note not just state governments were cutting public service jobs - the federal government was forcing cuts too through its efficiency dividends.
Debate on the motion was adjourned.
