The FSU and Bargaining Reps met with Suncorp on Wednesday and finally, after 11 weeks of meetings the company presented their claim. But, in a disappointing move Suncorp yesterday sent their 'proposal' to all employees.

This 'proposal' is just a claim. Immediately, we can tell that Suncorp wants to reduce personal / carers leave to 10 days for all Suncorp Group employees and that Saturday penalties where they currently exist, will be removed. There is also a question mark over just what a 'comparable position' is if an employee is redeployed following redundancy.

The FSU and other Bargaining Reps are seeking to negotiate a better outcome for employees on these and other important issues.

This negotiation process has only just commenced. The majority of Bargaining Representatives yesterday gave their support to a letter written and sent by the FSU to Suncorp that details a measured and genuine approach to these negotiations.
