Book excerpt: This book examines whether there is a right to strike in Australia through a detailed study of the laws which impact on the capacity of workers to take industrial action.Beginning with an exposition of the obligation to respect the right to strike in international law, the book traces Australian strike law from the conciliation and arbitration systems, through to the present regime for enterprise bargaining.The study considers the current legal regime for industrial action, both at common law and under the Trade Practices Act 1974 and the Fair Work Act 2009. In particular, the concept of 'protected industrial action' is explored in depth, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis.The book assesses the extent to which the protected industrial action regime under the Fair Work Act complies with Australia's international obligation to protect the right to strike. The book concludes that compliance with international obligations concerning the right to strike cannot be achieved while successive federal governments refuse to concede to industrial actors the degree of autonomy necessary for recognition of that right.

Book excerpt: This article examines the recent changes to the federal legal regime that controls the taking of protected industrial action in Australia. It considers the impact of both the Building and Construction Industry Improvement Act 2005 (Cth) and the Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act 2005 (Cth). The article provides an overview of the restrictions now faced by federal system employees and unions that wish to engage in protected industrial action. This includes the imposition of secret ballots, restrictions on the level and content of bargaining and the removal of the discretion of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in decision making. The article concludes that the Work Choices changes represent the most fundamental attack on the right to strike in Australia since its introduction in 1993, smothering the ability of employees and trade unions to take strike action in support of free collective bargaining.

Download or read book The Regulation of Subsidies Within the General Agreement on Trade in Services of the WTO written by Pietro Poretti and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) extends the multilateral trading system to services. Little is said In the GATS about subsidies, beyond stipulating that subsidies are subject to the existing provisions, including the most-favoured-nation and national-treatment principles, and that Members shall enter into negotiations with a view to developing the disciplines necessary to avoid the trade distorting effects of subsidies." "This timely book provides a comprehensive analysis of services subsidies under the GATS. It begins with a description of services and trade in services, and of the salient characteristics that make regulation of services subsidies more complex than those associated with agricultural and industrial goods. It then analyzes the economic arguments underpinning the need for regulation, as well as the need for governments to retain sufficient latitude to implement non-trade-related policy measures. A description of the information available on services subsidies is followed by a classification of services subsidies according to their distortive effects, and by a detailed analysis of those elements that may form a definition of services subsidies for the purpose of a future regulatory framework." "A key section is devoted to the analysis of those existing provisions of the GATS that may exert a certain measure of discipline on services subsidies, and to the question of the desirability and technical feasibility of countervailing measures. Rules on services subsidies contained in regional trade agreements and the need for special and differential treatment for services subsidies by developing countries are also discussed. Finally, and prior to the conclusion, two sectoral studies deal with the question of subsidies aimed at attracting foreign direct investment and subsidies to the audiovisual sector." "This work represents the first extensive and comprehensive analysis of the issue of services subsidies in the context of the GATS, and includes numerous references to relevant European Union State Aid legislation and jurisprudence." --Book Jacket.

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
