We have published a plain language fact sheet on some recent changes to the general protections under the Fair Work Act 2009.
General protections changes: workplace delegates’ rights
There are new protections for workplace delegates when they are carrying out that role.
A workplace delegate is a person appointed or elected by a union to be a delegate or representative for union members working in a particular enterprise. They have the right to represent the industrial interests of members and potential members.
These laws cover most employees and businesses in Australia.
