Employers in the resource in industry are urging the Federal Government to ignore demands from political groups and unions opposed to increasing the level of skilled migration.

The Government’s announcement on Enterprise Migration Agreements (EMA’s) was welcomed by resource industry employer AMMA.

Treasurer Wayne Swan's budget will see an increase in workers as it lifts the level of skilled labour imports and gives companies incentives through a $558 million employment fund.
