Your Mercer CPSU NSW Team met with Mercer on 28 November 2022 to discuss business updates, Aware Super and the commencement of enterprise bargaining for a replacement enterprise agreement.
The current Mercer Administration Services Enterprise Agreement 2019 (EA) has a nominal expiration date of 31 March 2023. On 6 December 2022 members were issued with the Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NERR).
The CPSU NSW is the default bargaining representative of members – you do not have to nominate the CPSU NSW.
It is critical that members encourage other staff to join the CPSU NSW so they can have a greater, meaningful voice in negotiations.
Whilst the previous enterprise agreement process with Mercer commenced on an “interest-based” bargaining approach, Mercer has flagged an interest in a more traditional process typically experienced under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
The next meeting date to discuss the EA is on 22 December 2022 where the CPSU NSW will advise Mercer on how we wish to proceed in bargaining.
The CPSU NSW bargaining team will shortly compile our Log of Claims for presentation in negotiations.
Members will shortly receive a survey designed to gage the most important issues to you, so we can accurately and vigorously represent you in negotiations.
Your CPSU NSW Bargaining Team will host an all members meeting on Thursday 15 December at 12pm.
