TheFair Work Act 2009 (Cth) [FWA] establishes the current national system of industrial relationswhich applies to about 85% of Australian employers. Fair Work Australia commenced on 1 July2009 [Labor Government]. The legislation was intended to increase protections available to thelabour force which were arguably diminished pursuant to the previous WorkChoices regime[Liberal Government]. Part 3-1 of the FWA is titled “General Protections”. This paper exploresthe nature of these new remedies in detail, how the Federal Court of Australia is applying them,and the impact the introduction of such remedies has had and is likely to have upon therelationship between employers and employees.Workplace Aggression and Victim’s Typology in Three Forensic PsychiatricClinicsFanny Klerx, Tilburg University (f.klerx@tilburguniversity.edu)Current research on workplace aggression focuses mainly on perpetrators’ typologies, theapproach of the perpetrators and context characteristics. Workplace related victim research onthe causes of workplace violence from a victim perspective is under-represented. This research inDutch Forensic Psychiatric Institutions examines individual factors in relation to workplaceaggression. In our research we assume that some individuals become more likely a victim ofaggression at work due to personal/individual characteristics. Predictors that can enhance thatchance include personality and behavioural characteristics such as childhood maltreatment andposttraumatic stress disorder in adulthood. We suppose that (physically) victimized workerssuffer more from childhood maltreatment, and PTSD than non-victimized workers and havemore inadequate coping strategies to deal with problems and to reduce (re)victimization. In thispresentation we present our theoretical framework on workplace aggression from inmates inForensic Psychiatric Institutions towards their treatment officers. Our hypotheses which arebased on the precipitation theory are tested in a longitudinal study conducted in 3 Dutch ForensicPsychiatric settings. The preliminary results will be presented. Firstly, we will describe ourrespondents according to demographical characteristics. Secondly, we will present theprevalence of workplace aggression. Thirdly, and finally, we will present causal effects of thepersonality and behavioural characteristics of the workers on victimization of workplaceaggression.33
