ARTC Infrastructure – Have Your Say on the Proposed EA

Bulletin 75 – 2017

After you and your workmates won improvements to how you move through the classification structure (you will now get to Level 4 in 4 years) and annual increases to allowances, management have put a proposed enterprise Agreement into your depots for you to read and then vote on next week.

You have only won these improvements because you voted NO to management’s first dodgy deal and then you took action.

Now you have a decision to make. Is the improved enterprise agreement on offer enough?

Management is still not offering back pay or a pay rise above 2%. They have also cut recognition of your union delegates in your Agreement and your right to pay union dues through payroll deduction.

Next week, you will get to vote. This vote is your chance to tell management directly if your wins have been enough or if you will keep up the fight. The only way to improve this offer will be standing together to continue your actions.

If you have any questions about the proposed Agreement, speak with your delegate or call the RTBU Office on (02) 9264 2511.
