Yesterday evening the government provided an offer for the replacement of your current enterprise bargaining agreement.
Most notably the government is sticking to their wages policy that would see members receive a 3.5% wage increase this year while inflation is still above 4%.
The offer package is broken down into three parts:
Firstly - The cover letter of the offer which speaks to the terms of the offer, wages and what is proposed to be in the agreement document itself and what is proposed to be dealt with outside of the agreement directly with agencies.
Attachment 2 - the government's response to members central claims.
Attachment 3 - Agencies responses to members agency specific claims.
Your delegates are getting together today at lunchtime to review this offer - we will provide a report back from today's delegate meeting at the member zoom tomorrow.
If you haven't registered for tomorrow's lunchtime zoom yet, you still can here.
Over the coming weeks we will be asking for your views on how this offer measures up against the issues important to you including inflation, and whether you think inflation will fall enough by the end of July for the government's wages policy to deliver a real wage increase. Noting the next inflation figure is due to be released on the 29th of July.
Hearing how members feel about this offer is important.
At any time if you have any questions, or feedback, please reach out to either your workplace delegates or the union office.
