Our union has now submitted evidence to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to consider whether there are potential issues with our new MUFG RSS Enterprise Agreement.
In case you missed our last update, the FSU is concerned that some information shared by management during the ballot period was misleading. We are also concerned that the Agreement may not pass the ‘Better Off Overall Test’ (BOOT) – meaning some of our entitlements may not be better off overall compared to the minimum entitlements set out in the Banking Finance and Insurance Award.
As we previously said, it is important that these concerns are raised now. Testing if an Agreement passes the BOOT is exactly what our union is here for: to protect members by ensuring our entitlements are fair.
We know that MUFG RSS management has also submitted their evidence to the FWC for consideration.
If the FWC finds deficiencies between the Award and an enterprise agreement, the Commission can require employers to commit to an undertaking – a legally binding promise to rectify an issue so that the agreement meets legal standards.
We’ll keep you informed about outcomes and next steps once we hear back from the FWC.
