Josh Bornstein is an award winning workplace lawyer who has represented employees and trade unions in some of Australia's most notorious disputes. He has been instrumental in cases that have blocked a government backed plot to de-unionise the waterfront, exposed sexual harassment against judges in Australia's federal and state courts and obtained record breaking compensation for intellectually disabled workers who were paid less than $1 per hour. Along the way he has cornered the market in representing sacked rabbis and women in media and journalism. He has written for most major media outlets in Australia and is a contributing author of The Wages Crisis In Australia, 2018. To try to stay sane, he surfs and listens to too much punk music.
His latest book Working For the Brand: how corporations are destroying free speech will be published by Scribe Publications in October 2024.
