Dear Reader,

Yesterday, I heard word of a case in which an employer was fined more than $60,000.

So what did he do?

He breached general protections provisions by dismissing three workers because of their involvement in union activities.

The three employees were dismissed for fighting for better wages and conditions during the bargaining, two of them because they were union members.

Cases such as these prove the need for you to respect your employee’s rights to freedom of association.

Until next time…
