Overview

Among the numerous specific topics covered are the following: awards, Australian workplace agreements, and certified agreements; the role of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission and other institutions, both state and federal; matters that may be determined by tribunals; application of a national wages policy; the award simplification programme; collective agreements; rights and duties of employees and employers; legal controls of trade unions; legal forms of industrial action; the role of employers' organizations; workers' participation in enterprises; and criteria for tribunal decisions. The implications for practitioners of distinctive current labour market features - such as the prevalence of part-time and casual work, and the large government outlays for training programmes - are fully spelled out, as are the procedural measures arising from the formidable resilience of the trade union movement. With its practical guidance and penetrating insights, Labour Law in Australia should prove a useful resource for business people, government regulators, and academics concerned with legal matters affecting the Australian labour market.
