We support the Uluru Statement from the Heart

6 June 2023  

We, the First Nations Finance Workers Committee, who have come together with support of fellow members and comrades across the finance sector, call upon our elected delegates to the first Finance Sector Union National Congress held on the un-ceded country of the Dja Dja Wurrung to:

Listen to, hear and take into your heart the message conveyed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart where delegates from First Nations and their representative organisations called for the establishment of a First Nations Voice, enshrined in the constitution.

In solidarity with and recognising of the proud history of Trade Unionists supporting First Nations peoples in Australia in their causes of social justice, lend the resources, capabilities and labour of our Union to support the Yes campaign for constitutional recognition.

Commit to support subsequent campaigns for the full implementation of the Uluru Statement including the Makarrata Commission to bring about truth-telling of our shared history and agreement-making between governments of Australia and First Nations on which this continent we share.

Congress response 

We, the inaugural National Congress of the Finance Sector Union, after listening to, hearing from, and taking to heart the call of the Uluru Statement from the Heart as voiced by our duly elected delegates and comrades from our First Nations Workers Committee, endorse in full the resolution put before us today on the un-ceded country of the Dja Dja Wurrung.

We commit to the ongoing support of our First Nations Workers Committee in their objective of increasing the active participation of First Nations people in our Union and the finance industry.

How we can help ?

I’m in! What’s the plan?

If AMP isn’t going to come to the table to negotiate our conditions with us, then we’ll need to force them.

And we will do that by securing a majority support determination (MSD). That sounds complicated, but all it means is that a majority of people working at AMP (or in a particular business area of AMP) vote to say they want to bargain – then AMP is legally obligated to negotiate. Of course, there are some legal hoops we need to jump through, but right now the most important thing you can do is click here to join us.

Now is the time to get as many of our colleagues involved and engaged in our campaign as possible.
