The prospect of general protections claims lodged on the basis of employees' "future workplace rights" is an important area for employers keep an eye on.
Henry William Lawyers partner Renee Kasbarian outlines two decisions dealing with this concept in a new HR Daily Premium webcast.

The first was in 2023, when the High Court found that when Qantas outsourced its ground-handling operations, it stopped workers from exercising their future right to engage in an upcoming round of enterprise bargaining, and to take industrial action during that process.
More recently, a CEO who was summarily sacked the day before completing the minimum employment period argued his employer took the action so that he wouldn't be able to exercise his future right to claim unfair dismissal.
