delete Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Regulations
This regulation establishes detailed procedural rules for the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Board, governing filing requirements, service of documents, time limits, form specifications, and processes for complaints, union certification, revocation, arbitration, and grievances in the parliamentary sector.
The regulation imposes significant compliance costs and rigidity that disadvantage individual employees and smaller unions while benefiting established organizations. Its detailed mandate creates bureaucratic barriers to access, invades privacy through mandatory signature collection, and stifles procedural innovation. The Board could achieve fair and efficient dispute resolution through much simpler rules or delegated rule-making authority, avoiding the unintended consequences of over-prescription that favor those with legal resources over ordinary citizens.
