Union Representative, Level 2 (Two day course in Perth)

The course is focused on the fundamental principles that govern workplace rights and responsibilities. Our aim is to provide union reps with a deeper and broader understanding of the “Fair Go” principles of unions and democratic society to provide Union Reps with a greater knowledge and understanding of how they manage union issues in the workplace.

The Australian Institute of Employment Rights (AIER) collaborated with the Teacher Learning Network (TLN) to produce the program that will form the basis of this course. It is about workplace rights and responsibilities.

This course is centered on ten themes identified as critical areas for ensuring a ‘fair go for all’ in the workplace.

These ten themes are:

• Everyone should have a fair go at work
• Everyone has a right to be treated with dignity
• Discrimination and harassment are against the law
• Everyone has a right to a safe and healthy workplace
• Everyone should get a say about the things that affect them
• You should always be able to ask someone to speak on your behalf
• No one should be asked to leave without a fair reason
• Everyone is entitled to fair basic conditions
• You (or your) representative should be allowed to bargain for a fairer deal
• Disputes should be resolved quickly and fairly
