Role and status of unions at a federal level
The Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (Cth) (FWRO Act) is the main federal legislation regulating the registration, legal status and operation of trade unions in Australia. This legislation also gives the Fair Work Commission (FWC) powers to make ‘representation orders’ in order to resolve demarcation disputes between unions.
