In this ALLA webinar, which is co-badged with the Australian Journal of Labour Law, we will have two speakers discussing their respective papers from Issue 3, 2025.
The first speaker – Larissa Harrison – will explore the approach taken by the United Workers Union in seeking to make effective use of the multi-employer bargaining provisions since they came into effect on 6 June 2023. This seminar identifies some problems and gaps in the legislative provisions, and the need for further reforms to ensure the uptake of multi-employer bargaining.
The second speaker – Professor Shae McCrystal – will explore the corrosive impact of enterprise agreements that continue to exist, ‘zombie like’, for many years after they have expired and frequently long after anyone who made the agreement is still involved. Through a case study, and exploration of FWC decisions considering zombie extension applications, the discussion explores how workers under long lived agreements may be left worse off over time, ultimately proposing that all stale agreements should have a (rebuttable) sunset date.
Ingrid Landau, editor of the Australian Journal of Labour Law will be chairing this webinar.
