Macquarie University – Interest Based Bargaining update – August 2018 (PDF version)
Recently we had a CPSU NSW meeting with members at Macquarie University to discuss the concept of Interest Based Bargaining (IBB). This meeting was well attended and members had the chance to ask questions and raise issues of concern.
The CPSU NSW has identified areas in the current Enterprise Agreement in which members would like to see changes made and preparations are underway to take these forward into bargaining.
Delegate Leigh Stanger and Industrial Officer Phoebe Dangerfield are attending IBB Training commencing 23 August and will continue to touch base with you regarding these proceedings.
Do you know of any issues that should be brought to the bargaining table/that need addressing from the Enterprise Agreement??
Feel free to contact your representatives:
