The FWC’s role is not to compel or make a determination on our issue, but to assist us in reaching a resolution through conciliation.

We attended the conciliation session last Friday in Perth, where a robust exchange of views took place between the FSU and CBA regarding the key outstanding issues.

We shared recent feedback from member meetings and made it clear to the bank that they need to do more for us to secure an acceptable EA.

Although CBA has refused to negotiate on the duration of the Agreement, our aim remains to secure the best possible outcome for members.

We’ve detailed our requirements to CBA, which they are considering, while we continue to meet to resolve any outstanding matters. A follow-up conciliation session with the FWC will take place in a few weeks if we cannot reach an agreement.

Show our commitment to voting no

We will keep you updated as this matter progresses, but it’s important to note that this process does not guarantee a positive outcome. That is why it is vital that we continue to show CBA that we’ll be voting NO if they put this dodgy deal to a ballot.

If you haven’t already, commit to vote No today and encourage your colleagues (and everyone you know!) to do the same.

Commit to vote No

If you missed our member meetings last week, you can see the latest position from CBA on our Bankwest EA here.

If you’re not a member, now is the time to join. Let’s show CBA we’re standing together to stop them from turning us into CBA Lite!
