Workchoices: Removing the Choice to Strike Download

Description:

‘We won’t remove the right to strike’ claimed a government WorkChoices advertisement.  But with WorkChoices the legal right to strike has almost gone.  Organising strike action legally was risky under the former Workplace Relations Act (1996), the Trade Practices Act (1974) and the common law of torts. In practical terms it now becomes much more difficult. This article explores the implications of the unique WorkChoices scheme for legally curtailing workplace conflict by restricting further any lawful right to strike, arguably to the point of suppression.
