Unions

Unions have shaped and continue to secure significant improvements for their Members and society at large. They also come under increasing public and legislative scrutiny. With over 10 years experience working for Unions in industrial officer and in senior in house legal roles WorkLawyers can assist Unions in a wide range of ways:

  • Dealing with Member v Member disputes when the Union needs a competent person to represent the interests of one Member.
  • Internal and external Agreement making including Good Faith Bargaining and Scope Order applications and once they’re done, taking care of getting an Agreement approved by the Fair Work Commission.
