The ɫreceived a number of complaints yesterday after Legal Aid circulated the Executive Director “Guidance” on Flexible Work.
There has been no consultation with the ɫabout this Guidance, which goes beyond the provisions of the Flexible Working Policy.
Yesterday the ɫadvised Legal Aid that we are in dispute, and we sought an assurance that the Guidance will not be implemented until this dispute is resolved.
To prevent an escalation of this dispute, your Delegates and ɫIndustrial staff expect to be meeting with Legal Aid this week to seek formal consultation and address the concerns of members.
ɫmembers are advised not to implement any aspect of the Guidance until this dispute is resolved.
Members will be updated on progress of this dispute at the end of the week.
