Are there other general protections?

The core protections against adverse action because of workplace rights and industrial activities are complemented by provisions directed against certain other forms of industrial misbehaviour. These include coercion (ss 343, 348 and 355); misrepresentation (ss 345 and 349); inducements in relation to membership or non-membership of industrial associations (s 350); discrimination on a range of protected attributes (s 351); seeking the payment of bargaining fees (s 353); and discrimination in relation to the coverage of industrial instruments (s 354).
