Recommendations:
In light of the findings above, the following recommendations are made for consideration by interested parties.
That improving union access rights ought to be a key focus in any strategy to extend the opportunity to join a union to workers in non-unionised worksites.
That the CTU and individual unions lobby the Government, and opposition parties to secure union access to worksites limited only by a simple reasonableness test.
That potential employer concerns about the reasonableness of union access be remedied by proposing that the Department of Labour provide educational materials about how to access sites reasonably.
