FSU believes that IAG’s September 2020 proposal falls short in 3 key areas
Job Security – IAG refused to include any job security commitments in the Enterprise Agreement
Working from home (WFH) – IAG refused to include WFH set up payment and monthly allowance in the Enterprise Agreement
Pay System – IAG insists that they will not guarantee pay increases, instead pay increases will be related to performance and meeting targets. Targets that haven’t been uniformly adjusted even though the economic circumstances have changed radically.
