ANZ’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) is taking place on Thursday 21 December, 9am (AEST) in Brisbane. This is an important opportunity for shareholders, including you, to ask questions and hold the Board and CEO to account.
The FSU will be taking a delegation to attend the AGM in person on behalf of our union member shareholders.
If you are a shareholder and interested in joining us or would like to appoint the FSU as your proxy, then please let us know by emailing [email protected] as soon as possible.
As you know, ANZ posted a record $7.4 billion profit in the past financial year. This was only achieved through the hard work and dedication of you, ANZ employees.
Despite record profits, ANZ has continued to cut jobs in Australia, offshore work to India and close retail branches.
At the AGM, we will urge the Bank to do what’s right for the community and workers by:
Committing to the Australian community
ANZ has committed (under its proposed Suncorp deal) to no changes to the total number of Suncorp Bank branches in Queensland for at least three years following the completion of the deal. Banking is an essential service to all communities. ANZ needs to commit to keeping the branch network open.
Investing in secure local jobs
ANZ’s investment in technology has led to changes in what and how colleagues do their jobs. ANZ needs to commit to investing in Australian skills for the future.
