What does the Fair Work Act say about Collective Bargaining and Enterprise Agreements?
The Fair Work Act sets out an entirely new framework for Collective Bargaining at the workplace level and new rules now apply to what can – and cannot – be included in a new Enterprise Agreement. In addition, all parties may now be represented by ‘bargaining agents’ and all negotiations must take place in ‘good faith’. For detailed information about the changes which have been made to the Collective Bargaining framework, please review the dedicated ‘Collective Bargaining FAQ’ document, which is available for immediate download on the Fair Work for Small Business Portal.
