CPSU: Environmental Sustainability in Your Collective Union Agreement
The urgency for action on climate change is reflected by environmental sustainability becoming a key claim for CPSU members in the current round of enterprise bargaining.
As a major employer in Northern NSW, and public institution for learning and innovation, our members believe SCU must lead in developing the low carbon workplace and economy.
The CPSU Environmental Sustainability Claim
Thursday 11 June 2009 the CPSU will commence negotiations with SCU to incorporate environmental sustainability provisions into your next collective union agreement. We are claiming for:

|
| 2. | Provisions that promote environmentally sustainable transport for work |
|
| 3. | Flexible working arrangements that increase productivity and reduce pollution |
|
| 4. | The right to report pollution and unsustainable practices at work |
|
| 5. | Environmental sustainability staff training and development |
