At our last bargaining meeting with Bankwest they provided a revised pay offer of 0.2% in 2022 and 0.2% in 2023 however they have tied this paltry increase to even greater concessions.
Management are seeking changes to overtime calculations, removal of the Promotions clause and maintaining their position on allowing redeployment to roles within CBA during major change.
These changes would result in the removal of long held protections in your agreement.
The most insulting part – their pay offer isn’t even industry leading. Other major financial institutions are paying between 3.25% to 3.5%. This included CBA who secured 3.25% in the first year of their EA.
Management have said they wanted to “harmonise” conditions with CBA. Instead, they’ve been shown up as “harmonisation hypocrites”.
This is not acceptable from the largest and most profitable Bank in Australia, who in the last financial year earned a profit of $8.65 billon from your hard work.
