If its not required by either side, the long standing existing framework solves that already.That's a problem that doesnt actually exist.
Not really - what has happened is that unions flew off the handle as they sometimes (sometimes too often) do, usually at the behest of a handful of disgruntled employees.That's an entirely different situation.
And I agree - one which needs careful deliberation on in terms of a policy framework to deal with that.
But often its been the case where businesses actually work hand in hand with employee organisations to the benefit of both.To give an example - in Victoria and WA particularly with resources projects, but also in other states, some businesses actually used the unions to provide training, be it OHS or basic skills development and at a cost to the business that was far less than the market could otherwise provide for, or at a level of quality that the rest of the market couldnt provide for at the same cost.The payoff for this were things like free union entry into workplaces, agreed dismisal processes and union representation for enterprise bargaining arrangements.
It was a win-win scenario for all parties, but that's now illegal.
Those businesses will now be forced to incur larger costs because of foolish, overbearing legislation over matters that the government should just get the f*** out of.
Its really silly.
If private companies want to engage employee organisations to obtain these types of win-win scenarios - its simply not the governments business.
That's not the bits that are problematic.

I dont think the legality of "porking your boss" as part of the job description was ever in doubt.
No no no no!
Under Sections 4 and 5, the minister not only contains executive power to directly intervene and prevent the implimentation of AWAs, without explicit codification of the extent of his powers, but his office receives copies of all AWAs lodged with the OEA.
If the Minister doesnt like it (for whatever reason, most likely some pathetic political reason that has no real basis in fact) - well that's it, it can be canned.
The record keeping is a bad joke.I've got a relative that has a diverse aquaculture business - oysters, crayfish, fish farming etc.Over a period of twelve months, he would have up to 300 people work for him, normally for a few days here, or a week there just because of the nature of his business.Labour intensive, but sporadic in his labour demand.His compliance costs for this poo are going to be enormous.Keeping detailed records on every employee, and every hour that employee works for a seven year period... well, he aint a happy chappy..... like many business owners wont be when the gravitas of this regulatory quagmire hits with their first visit by the roving army of government workplace inspectors.No doubt replete with brown shirts, shiny boots and campy looking briefcases.
