About the Webinar

One of the most controversial parts of the Federal Government’s recent workplace reforms include the introduction of multi-employer bargaining. Will these changes open the door to crippling industrial action across entire sectors? If so, how can employers best prepare themselves for what is coming? It’s never been more important to be across the new landscape and what they mean for the Australian workforce. This session provides a deep dive into bargaining, including:

  • Increased power of unions to initiate bargaining
  • Bargaining in ‘good faith’ – what is involved?
  • Expanding the operation of multi-employer bargaining:
    • which businesses are eligible?
    • powers of the Minister to declare an industry is eligible for supported multi-employer bargaining
    • will this new approach drag business owners into expensive and arduous bargaining negotiations?
    • businesses bargaining together – how will this work in practice? Is it anti-competitive?
  • How has the Better Off Overall Test changed?
  • Tips and traps in navigating bargaining negotiations in the new landscape
