UNIONS will be called on to explain why an industrial relations policy which urges Queensland Health managers to encourage union membership in the workplace should not be abolished.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg has announced he is reviewing the Union Encouragement human resources policy, which is linked to multiple QH enterprise bargaining agreements.
Unions will get two weeks to provide a submission on why the policy should remain.
The Newman Government will have to introduce legislative changes to scrap the provision.
According to the policy, QH managers and supervisors must encourage union membership.
"Queensland Health has made a commitment to encourage union membership among its employees," the policy states.
"Passive acceptance by management and supervisors of membership recruitment activity by unions does not satisfy the requirements of the agreement.
"Encouragement requires managers and supervisors to take a positive, supportive role."
Mr Springbord said he was "giving notice" that the rules are under review.
"We now need to review whether these policies are about delivering for patients and unions, or if they are about delivering for union bosses and Labor," Mr Springborg said.
"These designer rules were created to favour the political goals of the Labor party and have no place in a democracy or independent public service.
"Union bosses have two weeks to make submissions."
