Join an FSU zoom session on Thursday 13th October to hear about NAB’s response to the Union’s bargaining claim.
These sessions will be an opportunity to hear a detailed update directly from your FSU bargaining team, ask questions, and discuss the potential need for industrial action.

Negotiations Summary
Over Wednesday and Thursday NAB’s Executive sought to justify their position of delivering a real-world pay cut rather than acknowledge the cost-of-living crisis faced by members across the Bank.
Our Union has made its position plain:
- NAB’s pay model is fundamentally broken
- Inflationary pressures are hurting everyone’s household budgets
- Standards of living have been going backwards for years.
Your Bargaining Reps give a summary of negotiations here:
Every colleague from Group 1–6 deserves guaranteed pay
We have told NAB their offer is unacceptable to our membership and called on them to come back with an alternate proposal on pay for consideration.
But if NAB won’t act, we need to take action – click here to show your support.
Industrial Action
Industrial action is a legitimate way for Union members to advance their concerns and interests through the bargaining process.
Have questions about industrial action? Check our online FAQs about Protected Industrial Action.
Taking this step demonstrates just how serious our concerns are. Too many members have gone without a real pay increase for years.
The consequences of overwork have caused mental, physical health harms. Many have no faith their job is secure.
But this can be fixed by continuing to work together.
