CCIWA MEMBER SURVEY

  • Enterprise bargaining has traditionally been a popular option for employers and employees to establish terms and conditions of employment relevant to their workplace.  However, over recent years the number of workplaces utilising Enterprise Agreements has significantly declined.
  • The Federal Government is proposing a review of the process and requirements for making Enterprise Agreements and the impact these are having on employers, employees and the broader community.
  • To help us better communicate these issues to the Government, please take some time to complete this survey regarding your recent experiences.
  • All case studies will be deidentified and no information will be attributed to you or your organisation without your expressed consent.
