In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Electrical Trades Union of Australia’s national legal counsel, Alana Heffernan.
The recent establishment of the Aotearoa Legal Workers’ Union in New Zealand, and its proposed advocacy against minimum wage breaches and workplace sexual harassment and bullying, begs the question: why aren’t more Australian lawyers joining legal-specific unions or starting their own such movements?
Plus, in case you missed them, check out these recent episodes of The Lawyers Weekly Show:
• Could Australia ever see abortion laws like Alabama and Georgia?
• How political can lawyers get on social media?
• Why workplace wellness may be Australia’s next royal commission
• Why young lawyers can and should become sole practitioners
Jerome Doraisamy is the managing editor of Lawyers Weekly and HR Leader. He is also the author of The Wellness Doctrines book series, an admitted solicitor in New South Wales, and a board director of the Minds Count Foundation.
