Following a number of major changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act), it is more important than ever for employers to know what to do and say when approached by a union or union official in their workplaces.

In the first of our 2023 webinar series, our Managing Director and Principal, Athena Koelmeyer will outline employer rights and obligations when it comes to dealing with unions.

Athena will explore the reasons why a union may enter the workplace and provide practical guidance for employers managing entry. The webinar will also provide an overview of the range of penalties which can be imposed on employers and union officials for not complying with their entry obligations under the FW Act.

This webinar is a “must attend” for HR professionals and front line managers responsible for overseeing any union presence in the workplace.

The webinar will begin at 11.00am (AEDT) on Tuesday, 28 February 2023.
