Employment Rights BillContribution
Amendment 216MZA clarifies that enforcement of a CAC order may be pursued by either the workers or the union, but not by both. Without such clarity, we risk overlapping or conflicting enforcement actions arising from the same breach, creating legal uncertainty and potential delay. By specifying either/or, we seek to create a single, coherent enforcement route, reducing the burden on courts and avoiding unnecessary duplication. This protects all parties—employers, unions and workers—from the confusion and costs that arrive when multiple parallel proceedings are possible.
