Freedom of association

The Workplace Relations Act recognises a legitimate role for unions and employer organisations. Freedom of association laws ensure that an employer cannot dismiss an employee because he or she is, or is not, a member of a union. All employees have access to remedies for breaches of freedom of association provisions. The right to take lawful industrial action when negotiating a new workplace agreement is also protected by law.

Freedom of Association protection laws extend far beyond just these examples though, they also protect you from reprisal actions arising from you raising legitimate safety, wage and condition and virtually any legitimate concern relating  to your employment.
