POST EBA PROGRESS
Agreement has been reached, in-principle, on EBA11.
A proposed new EBA11 would, subject to member approval, lock-in the following key outcomes.
4% pa over 3 years. The compounding effect, payable in Sept each year, will deliver 12.5%
4% increase to all EBA allowances, each year.
No Trade Offs.
15% postie delivery payment will be protected
Quicker paths to full-time employment -
Removal of the once-per-year restriction on excess annual leave cash-outs.
Handing up the Delegates Charter to the Fair Work Commission
As part of the overall package, CWU and Post will continue working together to explore workplace flexibility options to enable a sustainable future workforce that continues to support the rapidly changing needs of Post's customers, and to reach resolution on non-core matters which CWU members told us were important to them, including:
Increasing the per km rate for members who use their private vehicles for work-related purposes;
Allowing medical certificates from pharmacies to certify personal leave applications; and
Clarification of regular single-day higher duties.
Additionally, Post has agreed to establish a number of joint CWU / Management reviews of key processes including payroll, employee discipline and how superannuation is paid on workers compensation. Importantly, Australia Post has provided undertakings to place reasonable timeframes on these review processes to ensure their resolution does not delay the overall EBA11 approval process and payment of the associated wage outcomes.
TELSTRA EBA
