Enterprise Bargaining between FSU and ANZ starts in the coming weeks.

This process will give FSU members an opportunity to better allow for a satisfactory balance between work and personal commitments.

In addition to FSU-negotiated entitlements in the current Enterprise Agreement and Award, ANZ has many work-life initiatives within policy.
 
The problem with entitlements existing in policy is that policies can change and are not always enforceable.  FSU will bargain to include work-life balance provisions in the new Enterprise Agreement to ensure such entitlements can be legally enforced.  

FSU will bargain for:

• Provisions to ensure workloads are achievable within rostered working hours.
• Protection of existing minimum and maximum work hours, penalty rates and overtime.
• Protection of existing career break entitlements.
• Changes to hours only allowable by mutual agreement.
• Greater scope for job-share arrangements.

FSU will bargain to have all employees – including those on TEC-packages - covered by the new ANZ Enterprise Agreement.

What can you do to be part of the Enterprise Bargaining campaign?

• Become an FSU member if you aren’t already.
• Provide your feedback on the EB claim to FSU.
