About the Webinar

It is clear from the legislative agenda of the Federal Government that unions are back at the centre of the industrial relations system and back with force. While the Closing the Loophole reforms have beefed up the rights of unions and union representatives, it is less clear what this return to collectivism means for individual workplaces. How will it impact practices and procedures and what steps need to be taken to prepare? This session shall look at the impact of the union-based reforms from the perspective of an individual workplace and look at:

  • The union protections framework and where it will sit from an enforcement perspective
  • The rights workplace delegates and union representatives now have from these recent reforms (e.g. right of entry, union delegate rights etc
  • Steps employers can take to comply (what must they do vs what not to do) and practical steps employers can consider to mitigate risk
  • How these reforms have played (or could play out) in cases including Qantas baggage handlers’ case
