Membership of unions or employer associations through proper and lawful means is encouraged. There must be no victimisation of any kind for membership or non-membership of associations.
Employers, unions and employer associations must observe the relevant right of entry provisions of either the Workplace Relations Act 1996 (Commonwealth) or Industrial Relations Act 1999(Queensland), or the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 (PDF, 766 KB) (Queensland) or other relevant employment law, as appropriate. The requirements of the applicable award or enterprise agreement or workplace arrangement must also be observed by unions and employers in relation to:
- right of entry by authorised union officers, and
- access to and inspection of the relevant records by the union.
