BARGAINING RIGHTS PROTECTED - TALKS BACK ON WITH FAIR WORK OVERSIGHT.

The State Government agreed to withdraw its application to curtail the bargaining rights of 35,000 public sector workers in Fair Work Australia today as CPSU agreed to pause protected action items 20 & 21 that apply to caseload controls in Child Protection for a period of not less than 7 days.

This cease-fire will facilitate Fair Work sponsored conciliation to occur on our bargaining issues.

PROTECTED INDUSTRIAL ACTION - MEMBERS' RIGHTS AT WORK

•    No Adverse Action for Taking Protected Industrial Action

The Fair Work Act recognises that taking protected industrial action is a workplace right.  An Employer cannot take adverse action against an employee for engaging in protected industrial action.  

•    CPSU Gives Notice to the Employer of Intention to Take Action
