Round 7 enterprise bargaining is under way and we have already had some great success.
The CSU agreement has been approved by the Fair Work Commission and delivers a salary increase of 11.9% (compounded at 12.46%) over 4 years. This is an average increase of 3.11% per year.
We are also making good progress at UNE, UWS, SCU, Newcastle and ACU.
At UNE, the University has agreed to our claim for domestic violence leave which is uncapped in the agreement.
UNSW bargaining has recently commenced while the University of Wollongong and Macquarie University are yet to begin.
We have also finalised an excellent agreement at the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) with a three year agreement at 4% per annum and a $1000 sign-on bonus for permanent employees ($500 for FTAs).
In addition we won:
- An
extension to the existing Primary Carer leave which allows employees,
irrespective of gender, to receive the full paid maternity leave
entitlement of 33 weeks in certain circumstances
- Paid
grandparent leave of 2 weeks.
