4% Pay Rise on 15 July

4%  pay rise on 15 July 2009 as your current Agreement expires

CONGRATULATIONS

You will receive a 4% pay rise on 15 July 2009. This is the final pay rise under your current Union Collective Agreement which expired on 30 June 2009 and equals a total salary increase of 15% over three years.

Your pay rise was won by CPSU members collectively bargaining during the last round of negotiations. This was achieved under the Howard Government’s draconian WorkChoices and Higher Education Workplace Relations Requirements (HEWRRs) and demonstrates the power of collective strength.

YOUR NEW ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT

Your enterprise agreement is how your salary, conditions and rights are outlined in a legally enforceable way.  After conducting extensive focus group consultation with CPSU members, the CPSU Log of Claims identifies the following key areas for general staff for the new Enterprise Agreement.

CPSU members want all General Staff to have:

	A salary increase that recognises and rewards the work of general staff.
	Improved leave entitlements and access.
	Sustainable general staff workloads.
	A fair and transparent general staff classification process.
	A new Performance Development and Review (PDR) process that is clear, fair and reflects the cooperative nature of working in a public education environment.
