MIQ staff often feel unable to report breaches, union says

However, Unite spokesperson John Crocker said his union has been asking for more of a worker voice for months, with avoidable health and safety problems in the meantime like breaches, staff shortages and missed tests. There is a disappointment that it s taken too long, he said. We ve seen problems, we ve seen breaches, we ve seen conduct that the public and the media have called into question. We think, had we had thorough worker engagement, then we could have ironed some of those out along the way.

The body meant to resolve employer-employee disputes has huge backlog of cases with long delays common

The Employment Relations Authority is meant to fix problems between workers and bosses - quickly. Lawyers and advocates say the Employment Relations Authority, meant to dispense quick justice in employer-employee disputes, is creaking under the strain of Covid-related issues. National Correspondent Steve Kilgallon reports on a ‘broken system’. Got a problem with your boss, been sacked unfairly, or wages left unpaid? Be prepared for a long wait if you’re planning on going to the Employment Relations Authority (ERA). The ERA, the first legal stop for resolving employment disputes, has a huge case backlog: its review officers have 659 cases on their books, with a further 280 waiting just to be assigned.
