Negotiations between ANZ and the FSU for our new Suncorp Bank Enterprise Agreement (EA) were due to resume last week.
However, ANZ was not in a position to respond to several of our most critical claims – including around pay and hours of work.
As a result, ANZ requested (and the FSU agreed to) a short deferral of negotiations to allow ANZ’s bargaining team time to seek direction from senior executives on the following key issues:
So far, ANZ’s offer has failed to adequately address the issues FSU members have raised (read our full analysis here).
If ANZ puts a substandard offer to a vote, we must be ready to vote ‘no’ to send a clear message to management: that we expect an agreement that values and respects our work. Will you commit to voting ‘no’ if the time comes?
Negotiations for our new Agreement will resume from 5 June. We expect a response from ANZ on our key claims around this time, including on pay, hours of work and redundancy entitlements.
