LL:DDV: WORKS COUNCILS IN THE AUSTRALIAN CONTEXT

2001-03-21 Thread Gillian Davy

A public seminar and discussion for labour movement participants.

MONDAY 9 APRIL
1.00PM - 4.00PM

LOWER STOREY HALL, RMIT UNIVERSITY
342 Swanston Street, Melbourne

This half-day seminar and discussion, convened by the Australian Council of 
Trade Unions, the Australian Services Union and the Community Advocacy 
Unit, will focus on a debate that has been emerging over the past decade.

Are Works Councils a realistic response to the attacks that we have seen 
upon working peoples' rights and upon their unions in this country?  Can 
Works Councils operate in Australia's industrial, legal and cultural 
environment?  What would the implications of the different models be for 
the Australian trade union movement?

Program features Monica Gould, Victorian Minister for Industrial Relations, 
and Greg Combet, Secretary, Australian Council of Trade Unions.

Panel discussion facilitated by Professor Ron McCallum and including: 
Nicola Roxon, MHR for Gellibrand; Doug Cameron, National Secretary, 
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union; Mark Bray, Professor of Employment 
Studies, University of Newcastle; Paul Gollan, Lecturer, London School of 
Economics; Iain Campbell, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, RMIT University; 
Peter Gahan, Director, Effective Organisations Unit, Industrial Relations 
Victoria.

Free entry.
RSVP essential - to Gillian Davy by 26 March.
