Charles Sturt University have offered General Staff a minimum pay rise of 13% over three years (2010-2012) as part of a comprehensive new enterprise agreement that delivers better pay and enhanced conditions. The new pay deal follows an additional 4% administrative increase during 2008 and 2009. Here’s how the pay offer works:
On top of 13% base increase the CPSU – the General Staff Union – were successful in gaining the University’s agreement for a restructured salary scale for General Staff which will expand the coverage of the agreement and result in additional pay for general staff at the top of levels 2 and 4. With the inclusion of the 2009 administrative increase, the total minimum cumulative increase for General Staff tops 18.3% compounded (2009-2012). In a big win for the Australian Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union (LHMU), the union negotiated agreement will also introduce a transition to a 35 hour week for all general staff currently working a 38 hour week. CPSU CSU Branch President, Frances Baker, said: “all the unions’ were really determined to see the LHMU’s claim for a 35 hour week get up in this round of bargaining. The LHMU have pushed for it for a long time and, to their credit, CSU have come up with a model to support its implementation. It’s a very pleasing result.” The new agreement improves conditions for general staff in other significant areas including flex time, casual rates, parental leave, long service leave, workloads, classification, consultation and union rights. Vote ‘Yes’ – it’s great deal! The CPSU are advocating a YES vote when the new agreement goes to ballot. CPSU Lead Negotiator, Irene Evans, said “it’s a demonstrably better package for General Staff than the last agreement, we’re proud of what we’ve achieve and the CPSU are encouraging a yes vote when it’s put to a ballot of staff.”
