saff_cossie Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hope it isn't for you or your wife mate. There was a guy that came into my work who deals around employment law and cases (we were all subject to a 1.5 hour course). Will get his details tomorrow and let you know. This guy has his own business and also a Private Investigation business around unfair employment. Will let you know tomorrow, if I don't post up here shoot me an SMS.

Ziller Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Join a union and let them handle it first before seeing a lawyer, employers shit them selves when the union walk in.

krzysiu Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 If he isn't part of a union already there is no point joining now because they wont do anything about it.

Downforce Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 the unions aren't "all powerful", there are rules they have to follow as well. employers are not necessarily afraid of them, but the unions like to think they have the powahhhh Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/284219-melb-employment-lawyer/#findComment-4848989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziller Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Ive Got passed the scare campaigns, I was awarded my job back at the IRC with back pay, not bad for a new member, was just to easy, I wish getting my R back on the road was as easy, talk about pleasure and pain dealing with these things, and good luck to Ziad.

W0rp3D Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Join a union and let them handle it first before seeing a lawyer, employers shit them selves when the union walk in. The only way the union have a lot of power is if it is a union work site, there not going to stick there neck out for one person paying $5pw in dues when its going to cost them a few thousand to fight for them. I have a friend who works at bluescope and have been hearing about all the dodgy things they have been doing to get rid of people and even with all the members that the union have at that site there are still times when the union have no power to do anything.

Ziller Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 The trick is you have to have some good people around you or your gone, make sure you keep a diary on any meetings with management and stick to your guns and dont bullshit, (let the management do that) it all comes out in the wash. Its not for everyone, it just worked for me without the cost of a lawyer and it maybe an option for Ziad, it depends on the workplace as well and the issues at hand, best to avoid altogether if you can, anyway Im going for pizza yum yum!!

saff_cossie Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 OK, after the outcome from today will update. Unfair dismissal case, clear cut, no warnings etc. Friends in a few HR depts confirmed the legislation. Called the above company who also confirmed. Dropped all the details into Fair Work Australia. They confirmed clear cut case. Conciliation meeting organised. 1 x person who has nothing to lose and understands the case (friend) and victim + 1 x arrogant previous employer + FWA = new arsehole torn, FWA in agreeance and compensation paid.
