Margaret is an old fossil, a relic from a distant past where union membership was compulsory, redundancy compensation was an entitlement, and boiler makers or meat processors meant trouble. As a partner in Haigh Lyon, Margaret acted for big unions – Labourers, Pulp & Paper Workers, Seafarers, but also small unions that these days seem quaint – Furniture workers, Apparel workers, Carpet and Bedding workers.
In 2000, the doctrine of good faith emerged from the ashes of collective bargaining as we knew it and, in the 25 years of legislative stability that has followed, Margaret has represented both employers and employees.
Margaret is a former Convenor of the (then) ADLS Employment Law Committee and she has presented at various employment law conferences over the years. For the past 12 years, Margaret has developed a busy Workplace Investigation practice. She is an Association of Workplace Investigators Certificate Holder. There is life in the old girl yet!
