Contribution

This new Schedule would amend Schedule A1 to the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to extend the prohibition on unfair practices to the entirety of a recognition or derecognition process, ensure that the Central Arbitration Committee can make orders in relation to such practices whether or not they have an impact on the process, increase the time limit for making claims in relation to such practices, provide for binding arrangements for access by the union to workers throughout a recognition or derecognition process, prevent workers who joined the bargaining unit after a recognition application from being counted for various purposes, prevent a new recognition agreement with a non-independent union stopping a recognition process, and make the amendments currently in clause 51.
