“We have a stake in the company because we’re employees – we want to see it flourish and do well into the future […] but at the same time we’ve got to make sure they’re doing the right thing by our colleagues, our communities and our society in general.”
ANZ may have held its AGM less than a week before Christmas, but that didn’t stop us from putting some tough questions to CEO Shayne Elliott.
FSU Workplace Representative Chris Barron attended today’s AGM and put our concerns to the board about ANZ offshoring Australian jobs and the bank’s significant gender pay gap.
“It’s really important for staff members, shareholders and union members to come to events like the AGM,” said Chris.
“It allows a direct channel of communication with the board, who are elected […] We want to make sure our voices as workers are heard.”
It’s thanks to FSU members like Chris that management hear our concerns directly and are held accountable in such a public forum.
We know that management responds most to pressure from their employees – and more importantly, employees who have the strong backing of our union.
There are so many ways you can get involved in our union and help keep employers accountable, including becoming a Workplace Representative like Chris.
If you’d like to know more or just want to chat with someone from our union about how you can make a difference, contact the FSU today.
