Date set for FWC hearing against ANZ. We’re already getting results

The date has been set for our dispute against ANZ in the Fair Work Commission – Monday 13 October

Our union lodged a dispute against ANZ over the bank’s failure to properly consult employees following CEO Nuno Matos’s decision to cut 3500 jobs.

If you have heard of plans to restructure your area but have not received formal notification, please reply to this email. Any information you provide may help strengthen our case in the Commission.

Our actions are already getting results

Yesterday, Acting ANZ Group Executive, Australia Retail Bruce Rush confirmed that the collective strength of members in Australian Retail has already forced ANZ to back down on parts of its plan.

Thanks to FSU members standing together and speaking out:

  • staff can now preference roles at higher grades.
  • around 100 roles have been won back into the proposed future structure.

This is a terrific step forward, but ANZ must do more. We are demanding:

  • Clear details on what work will actually stop under Nuno Matos’s plan.
  • Transparency about which teams and employees are still at risk.
  • Real, tangible support for workers losing their jobs – and for those left behind facing heavier workloads and ongoing uncertainty.

Anything less is unacceptable.

If you haven’t already, please add your voice to our call for meaningful support and accountability from ANZ.

As these recent wins demonstrate, change only happens when we stand united and speak up. Together, we can – and will – make a difference.

If you are not yet a member of our union,now is the time to join. If you are already a member, please encourage a colleague to join with you.
