Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Certification Officer force a union to fund discretionary ET representation?

Ordinarily no: Certification Officer jurisdictional sift decisions hold that discretionary legal-assistance refusals fall outside s.108A(2) unless tied directly to a breach of listed rulebook heads such as officer elections, ballots, or union disciplinary proceedings.
