Welcome to 2010. We hope you all had a relaxing break and are ready to get back into the swing of your Campus Backbone EB6 campaign.
Our last member report was on 17 November 2009 and since then we have had three bargaining meetings: 9 December 2009 and 4 and 11 February 2010.
What has your CPSU Bargaining Team been doing?
We have been hard at work and have developed & tabled the following clauses:
CHANGE MANAGEMENT, LENGTH OF THE AGREEMENT, WORKLOADS, FIRST AID ALLOWANCE, PRINCIPLES OF CONSULTATION AT UTS, HUMAN RESOURCES, POLICIES, PROCEDURES & GUIDELINES, UNION RIGHTS, AWA’S AND ITEA’S, CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT, REVIEWERS AND INVESTIGATORS, INDIVIDUAL FLEXIBILITY ARRANGEMENTS and GRANDPARENT LEAVE.
Copies of these documents can be found here.
We have been successful with a number of our claims including the reinsertion of community leave provisions, more beneficial long service leave provisions and the strengthening of the reviewers and investigators clause. Unfortunately there are still a number of claims the University has not agreed with. For example we have tabled a SENSIBLE & REASONABLE Grandparent Leave clause. There is strong support from members about this and we will continue to push hard to get this ground breaking clause up.
What has the University claimed?
- A more simplified Change Management clause. Unfortunately more simplified often means reduced protections for staff. We will be analysing this clause carefully and will soon provide a considered response.
- The ability to direct staff to take Annual Leave if the University decides to shut down all or some of its facilities. This is a major new claim from the University and should be RESISTED strenuously.
- The ability to cash out Annual Leave and Long Service Leave.
Let us know what you think. Give you feedback to
