Australia: Inside IR podcast series - Episode 18 Secure Jobs, Better Pay IR reforms - What impact are they having on bargaining so far?

489 days since the passing of the Secure Jobs, Better Pay Act, this episode of Inside IR provides a timely update on how this legislation is impacting enterprise bargaining in Australia. Rohan Doyle is joined by Senior Associates Victoria Fijalski and Mathew Reiman to explore how key changes introduced by the Act are playing out in workplaces and the Fair Work Commission, including the intractable bargaining jurisdiction, the conciliation requirement prior to industrial action, the new multi-enterprise bargaining framework, and other bargaining process changes. Rohan, Victoria and Mathew conclude by examining data from before and after the Secure Jobs, Better Pay amendments to discern the impact of these changes on disputes and wage outcomes.
