At our recent meeting with Aware Super to progress our Enterprise Agreement negotiations, management said they are reflecting on why most staff rejected their first offer.
While it’s encouraging that management has committed to understanding our key concerns (something we will hold them to), it’s disappointing that they didn’t listen when we were telling them loud and clear prior to last year’s ballot why the offer wasn’t good enough.
At least we now have their attention – proof that voting ‘no’ works!
At the meeting, your bargaining representatives reiterated all the reasons why management’s last offer wasn’t good enough, including that the $1000 cost-of-living allowance offer was short-sighted and didn’t meaningfully address our deep concerns around pay, (including guaranteed increases for Group 5), superannuation and redundancy.
You can read our full settlement position here, which Aware Super is now considering. If management agree to these conditions, we are prepared to take the offer to another ballot.
We’ll let you know as soon as we hear management’s response. In the meantime, please forward this update to your colleagues and ask them to join our union. If we all work together, we stand a better chance of winning the Agreement we all deserve.
