Would you suggest any amendments other than the amendment regarding the 18‑month implementation period after royal assent? Do any specific clauses of the bill stand out?
Some union representatives have told us here about troublesome clauses. These clauses would enable an employer that wants to lock out workers to check for available subcontractors before giving notice to bargain. As a result, the employer could indirectly accomplish what it couldn't directly accomplish.
Have you referred these types of situations to the government so that proposed amendments can be considered?
