Bankwest EA update: We’re hauling CBA to the Fair Work Commission

After months of negotiations, we have been left with no choice but to lodge a dispute against CBA at the Fair Work Commission on behalf of Bankwest members. 

Since May, we’ve been negotiating hard on the issues that matter most to you in our new Bankwest Enterprise Agreement. While we’ve made some progress, it’s not nearly enough. The bank needs to do more to protect our working conditions otherwise we’ll just turn into CBA Lite.   

To understand why we’ve taken this significant step, what progress has been made, and what this means for your new Enterprise Agreement, we urge you to join one of our upcoming meetings below:   

Tuesday 10 September, 10am (AWST)  

Tuesday 10 September, 12pm (AWST)  

Tuesday 10 September, 6pm (AWST)  

Wednesday 11 September, 10am (AWST)  

Wednesday 11 September, 12pm (AWST)  

Wednesday 11 September, 6pm (AWST)  

It’s crucial that we get as many members as possible to attend, so please share this with your colleagues. If you haven’t already, make sure you commit to voting ‘No’ should CBA put this dodgy deal to a ballot.

If you’re not already an FSU member, join here today.
