Bargaining Masterclass with Deputy President O'Keeffe

Enterprise bargaining can be a vastly complex exercise involving negotiations between employers, employees and unions.

This exercise has even more resolution pathways available with the introduction of changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth), such as intractable bargaining declarations.

With this in mind, the Industrial Relations Society of WA is pleased to host a Bargaining Masterclass with Deputy President O’Keeffe from the Fair Work Commission.

This presentation will include:

1. Getting to bargaining via majority support

2. The impact of the prospect of intractable bargaining declarations

3. At the bargaining table – what to do and what not to do

The workshop will conclude with a question and answer session.
