Our Enterprise Agreement (EA) at People First Bank is about to expire, with negotiations due to start in May. While we only finalised our current EA a year ago, this is not only our opportunity to shape the future of our pay and working conditions for the next few years, but to make sure our hard fought working conditions are upheld and improved on.

We know job security is a major issue at People First Bank following recent branch closures and the outsourcing of Lending Assessment – this will be a key focus as we head into negotiations so keep an eye out for more information from us and how you can get involved.

An important caveat…

It's important to understand that there is only so much our union can do without all of us engaging in the process. Chances are, management isn’t going to hand us everything we want on a platter.

The main thing that will influence management’s position on key issues – including our pay – is whether you and your colleagues are engaged with what’s going on.

Here are some simple things you can do right now to set us up for success:

1. Join the FSU – the more union members we have, the better our chances are of negotiating a fair deal.
2. If you are a member, make sure your details are correct and read all updates you receive from the FSU.
3. Do your colleagues know what’s happening? Make sure they do – and if they’re not an FSU member, ask them to join.

More information will be coming your way soon. Together, let’s secure the pay and conditions we deserve at People First Bank!
