Training on new workplace delegates' rights

15 Aug 2024 9:12 AM | Anonymous

AREEA is launching an important training package for members on workplace delegates’ rights.

To ensure all leaders get across these new laws and changes efficiently, the training is designed in two streams, for site-based leaders (supervisors and managers) and head office leaders.

Bolstered union rights are now enshrined in all modern awards and must be included in all new enterprise agreements.

This follows the Fair Work Commission’s final determination on a workplace delegates’ rights term, which took effect on July 1.

New privileges include the right for union delegates to represent all “eligible members” of an enterprise; the right for union delegates to communicate with eligible workers “during working hours”; employers providing five paid days for workplace delegates to undertake union training in their first year in the role; and ensuring workplace delegates have reasonable access to workplace facilities.

As your industrial relations specialist organisation, AREEA will ensure training participants:

Understand new rights, protections and obligations under the Closing Loopholes amendments to delegates’ rights;
Understand employers’ rights, protections and obligations;
Know the guidelines for workplace delegates’ expanded right of representation, reasonable communication, access to facilities and training; and
Understand practical considerations specific to Australia’s resources and energy industry workforces and workplaces.

The course will be delivered online. In person, on-site training across Australia can be arranged and customised to meet specific company needs.
