Abstract
19th century Factories and Shops inspectors identified employer victimisation of workers who reported non-compliance with entitlements as a key enforcement problem. Initial strategies of the Australian federal industrial relations inspectorate tasked with enforcing awards and agreements in the 20th century were cognisant of this problem, but more recent strategies appear to have ignored it. This paper examines the impact of shifts in strategies used by the federal inspectorate between 1904 and 2006 in conjunction with changed contextual issues to make two points: complaints- based inspection strategies identify complainants, and combined with changed employment practices increase the potential for victimisation.
