NBN EBA VOTED UP JUST!

NBN has a very unhappy workforce. NBN has advised that the YES vote for the EBA was 51.35% of those who voted. Some 68.9% of the staff voted. NBN has so far kept secret the numbers who voted. We will seek these and consider any response.
There were 1131 staff eligible to vote.
There were 779 valid votes.
YERS vote 400
NO vote 379

In Bulletin 2025/05 our T&S Branch said:

Negotiations were terminated by NBN with several issues unresolved. While there are always matters unresolved, we are disappointed that difficult clauses remain. Given this, we cannot support a YES vote. A successful NO vote would drive us back to negotiations to further improve the benefits. In short, we urge a NO vote.

Members nearly achieved this. While the vote got up, it demonstrated that members matter bargaining power.
