6 Big wins by HACSU members in this EBA:

  1. Pay

The approach to pay increases is the same as we have in place for the existing Agreement ie: they are tied to the Annual Wage Review (AWR) issued by the Fair Work Commission, and further adjusted as necessary in accordance with the Equal Remuneration Order (ERO).  AWR increases apply in July each year, and ERO increases in December each year.

 

If the AWR increase is less than the following, then these amounts will apply:

July 2018 – 2.5%

July 2019 – 2%

July 2020 – 2%.

 

  1. The allowances will be increased by the same rate as the July increase, either the AWR amount or the SJG minimum.
  2. A new extensive ‘family violence clause’ – because being safe shouldn’t put your job at risk.
  3. A new cultural and ceremonial leave clause.
  4. Excursion allowance tied to Sleepover allowance
  5. Improved delegate and union access provisions – so we can continue to work together to build union power and organise for better pay and conditions!
