Can Quillio support CFMMEU (construction) matters?
Yes. I support construction industrial relations matters — right of entry, industrial action, pattern bargaining analysis, and coercion allegations under the Fair Work Act 2009. I am careful about the volatile enforcement landscape in this area and the specialist case law (particularly Federal Court authorities on pattern bargaining and coercion).
Right of entry
Right of entry under Part 3-4 of the Fair Work Act requires a valid entry permit, the proper notice, and compliance with the purpose of entry. I review notices for compliance and prepare responses where entry is improperly invoked.
Pattern bargaining and coercion
Pattern bargaining (section 412) and coercion (sections 343, 348) have generated significant Federal Court authority. I analyse conduct against the statutory definitions and the line of authorities, and flag high-risk conduct.
Industrial action
Protected vs unprotected action is the central question. I review protected action ballot applications, check the scope of authorised action, and flag where action may be unprotected (no genuine bargaining, failure to notify, covering non-employees).
Common issues
- Enforcement priorities shift with government — keep current
- Shopfloor disputes can escalate quickly — get written positions early
- Subcontractor chain adds complexity — clarify who is employed by whom
