The Australian Charter of Employment Rights is a blueprint for the future of industrial relations in Australia.

The Charter is a back-to-basics attempt to define the rights of workers and employers. It is a simply expressed contemporary document that draws upon international as well as uniquely Australian rights and values to create a set of rights and obligations which all workplaces are encouraged to adopt and observe. The Charter enables a critique of current labour laws and any proposals for change.

The Australian Charter of Employment Rights is the collaborative effort of seventeen of Australia’s leading IR practitioners, lawyers and economists, edited by Mordy Bromberg and Mark Irving. It is the initiative of the Australian Institute of Employment Rights, an independent tripartite body representing workers, employers and the public interest.

“The Charter of Australian Employment Rights leads the way for industrial relations in Australia – a way towards greater harmony and greater prosperity. It is a worthy objective, which can be achieved by employers and workers adopting a template for workplace fairness.”

Bob Hawke

Book excerpt: The world of work is rapidly changing. Now, more than ever, there is a need for a principles-based approach to providing fair and decent workplaces.Eight years after drawing up the Australian Charter of Employment Rights and advocating for a rights-based approach to creating fair workplaces, the Australian Institute of Employment Rights once again brings together reflections on Australia's workplace relations system.Written by some of Australia's preeminent industrial relations academics and practitioners, this publication considers the current state of Australia's industrial relations system as measured against the AIER's Australian Charter of Employment Rights, first published in 2007, and with reference to the AIER's Australian Standard of Employment Rights, published in 2009.Preceded by an exploration of the relationship between employment rights and human rights, ten chapters focus respectively on each of the principles of the Charter and their ongoing relevance and relationship to contemporary Australian workplace relations issues.'Never more than now has there been a need for a framework promoting productive interaction about policy, compromise and effective implementation. To be effective, such a framework needs to bring together and promote dialogue between civil society institutions, unions and the diverse representatives of employer, community and human rights interests. The contributors to this book provide further steps toward engaging with the framework established by the Charter and Standard.' - The Hon Paul Munro AM

Download or read book Australian Charters of Rights a Decade on written by Matthew Groves and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ACT Human Rights Act 2004 and the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006. These two statutes are closely modelled on international bills and charters of rights but Australia's unique legal framework makes them quite distinct. This book examines how these two "Australian Charters" have operated in their first decade. It explains their strengths and limits, and what lessons they can provide for other Australian jurisdictions.The book comprises two thematic parts. The first half explains the architecture of the two Australian Charters. What makes them distinct? What is their scope? How do they operate? The second half examines how the Australian Charters have been used by particular groups in society, such as prisoners, people with disability and women. Others show how the Charters have affected important social issues, such as freedom of expression and religious observance.The authors are a wide range of judges, practitioners and leading scholars. They bring a knowledge of the theory and practice of workings of the Australian Charters that is essential to everyone concerned with our rights.
