This bulletin is to update members on the outcome of bargaining negotiations with TransGrid on the in-principle TransGrid Enterprise Agreement 2020. It follows on from our 1 December bulletin HERE.
Members will have seen recent communications from TransGrid outlining the changes to the 2016 Enterprise Agreement that have been negotiated between TransGrid and the combined unions, and seeking employee endorsement.
A comparison document between the 2016 and 2020 Enterprise Agreements can be found HERE.
The proposed new Agreement can be found HERE.
Among other things, there have been positive changes to the consultation clause, and redundancy clauses. Importantly, the Agreement includes a salary increase of two per cent from the previous rates.
If the Agreement is voted up by the majority of employees, there will be one immediate two per cent pay rise followed by another two per cent pay rise in early December 2021 and another in early December 2022.
In the CPSU NSW’s view the new package, in terms of overall conditions of employment and remuneration rates secured by the combined unions, is highly competitive. Your union recommends members vote ‘yes’ to approve the TransGrid Enterprise Agreement 2020.
If you have any queries, please contact your industrial staff on the email below.
In solidarity,
