Understanding how employment law works is essential for reps. This series of workshops will give an introduction to how the law works and how this relates to the role of the rep. As the new government tables new employment laws, we will be scheduling extra courses to cover new legislation throughout the year. Watch this space!
Who are these courses for?
- New reps/stewards who have completed the Organising Stewards course
- Any experienced activists/reps/officers who want a refresher on the law
Contracts are the basis of employment law and understanding how they work is essential to understanding how workplace law works.
This workshop will show:
