State Government Not Happy
The 21 day compulsory conciliation period with Fair Work expired on Saturday and the Government has still not made a decent wages offer.
Having failed to make any further wages offer and now facing Fair Work arbitration on its wages policy, the Government asked for CPSU consent to have the 21 days extended.
CPSU would not consent to this further extension.
The government is only interested in further stalling.
7 months is long enough for workers to wait for a real wage offer.
