Industrial disputes

What is an industrial dispute?

An industrial dispute is a disagreement regarding an industrial matter between an employer and:

  • an employee; or
  • a group of employees; or
  • an industrial organisation (union) on behalf of an employee/employees.

It may include disputes of contract, enterprise agreement, award or other relevant industrial law.

Disputes are often escalated internally within an organisation before potentially escalating to a Commission if the issue remains unresolved.
