Industrial Relations Amendment and Other Legislation Bill 2022



Published
The Industrial Relations Amendment Bill will make it virtually impossible for true independent unions to represent and advocate for their members. This bill will strip away the freedom of association in Queensland.

The real motive for this bill is the tens of thousands of individuals who were abandoned by the establishment unions in droves and joined organisations such as Red Union and other worker groups. These new independent unions were the only ones prepared to help those workers dealing with unfair dismissal and pay negotiations due to the mandates.

The new independent union groups do not sit on government round tables, nor do they make financial contributions to political parties. These are apolitical organisations, that come from sectors once considered the lifeblood of the union movement.

There must be opportunity and choice with worker groups. The old unions no longer serve their members' interests but instead the interest of power elites and global capital, as demonstrated over the past three year. New independent unions' dues are only half the price of the old unions, making them a genuine competitor for the establishment unions.

I am strongly opposed to the bill.
