Broadcast Australia EA update
CWU officials and other employee representatives met 1 June to develop the claims they will be putting to Broadcast Australia (BA) during the current round of bargaining for an Enterprise Agreement (EA) to cover technical staff.
Discussion to date has centred largely around the details of working arrangements which are specific to BA, particularly the “bucket” system of dealing with hours worked beyond the standard 38 hour week. Employee representatives are now also turning their minds to the question of a fair pay rise.
Any CWU members wanting to have input into these discussions should contact their state union branch, preferably before 15 June. A two day negotiating meeting is scheduled for 15-16 June and will be held in Sydney.
