Recommendation 13
13
Require transparency for recognition ballot spending and secure a long-term WERS replacement.
Recommendation
It is important that the impact of reform to industrial relations is both measurable and measured. We recommend that the Government bring transparency around industrial disputes in line with best practice elsewhere, including the United States, and requires parties involved in a recognition ballot to disclose spend on materials, consultants and other payments. In addition, we recommend the Government secures an effective and long-term replacement to the Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS).
