In the second episode of Industrious Conversations, Employment Partners Julia Sutherland and James Hall discuss strategies for managing protected action ballot orders (PABOs) and protected industrial action (PIA) arising from recent amendments under the Secure Jobs, Better Pay Act.

"We're seeing that even though the legal changes are relatively minor, the practical implications for employers navigating industrial action are significant," notes James Hall during the episode.
Key discussion points include:
The introduction of section 448A conferences, where bargaining representatives must attend a Fair Work Commission meeting before voting on PABOs.
Insights into early cases involving multi-employer agreements and PABOs.
How employers can navigate the PABO process strategically and the importance of preparation.
