Labour and supply chains

BHRIGHT’s Labour and Supply Chains theme engages with critical issues around corporate responsibility and accountability.

The Labour and Supply Chains theme encompasses research on the broad disciplines of employment law, discrimination law, industrial relations and corporate social responsibility.  The researchers in this theme examine the legal responses to vulnerable workers both in Australia and overseas, and investigate workplace discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender and other protected attributes. The research also highlights access-to-justice issues for vulnerable workers, especially migrant workers, women experiencing sexual harassment and overseas workers working in the supply chain of large corporations.  The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is also investigated by the researchers in this theme.
