CPSU NSW bargaining team reaches “in-principle” on new NSWALC Enterprise Agreement


CPSU NSW bargaining team reaches “in-principle” on new NSWALC Enterprise Agreement – March 2021

The CPSU NSW bargaining team has reached an “in-principle” agreement with NSWALC on the terms of a new enterprise agreement.

In doing so we have sought an assurance from NSWALC that a consultation period will take place with all NSWALC staff to explain the proposal, seek staff feedback and, where appropriate, hold further issue-focused discussions with bargaining representatives. Click HERE for a copy of the joint statement issued on behalf of the bargaining representative.

The CPSU NSW bargaining team including, Diane Lee, Shannon Field, Peter Lalor, Stu Jordan and Thane Pearce (CPSU NSW) are mindful that the proposed enterprise agreement contains significant changes to existing employment arrangements. As such we believe it is appropriate to seek staff feedback before a final document is put to a vote.

The CPSU NSW bargaining team is supporting the package.

As a democratic union however, we will ask members to vote on the proposal before it is formally endorsed by the union. We will do this via a Survey Monkey poll once staff have had an opportunity to properly review the proposal.

 

In the coming days we will be inviting members to attend both face-to-face and on-line union meetings to discuss the new agreement, and expect to join with NSWALC and the independent bargaining representatives in a series of staff Q&A sessions. We will forward details as soon as these arrangements are confirmed.

In the meantime, do not hesitate to contact Thane Pearce or Kirra Jackson or by phone on
