StarTrack (Messenger Post) Courier Mail Call dispatch merger dispute avoided
In our last bulletin, we reported to members about Sydney’s Messenger Post courier operations merging with Mail Call Courier dispatch operations.
We reported that management’s initial proposal was to have the former Mail Call employees sitting at a desk next to an Australia Post employee, at an Australia Post workplace performing Australia Post corporate on a Startrack Express employment contract – being paid comparatively less than Australia Post employees employed under EBA9 doing the same work.
We also reported that we wouldn’t allow that what we described as a “cheap cash grab” to happen which would undermine the pay, terms and job security of our members currently employed in that business unit.
We’re pleased to report that your Union was successful in ensuring those former Mail Call employees are now employees of Australia Post – and are now benefiting from a boost in their pay and conditions under EBA9.
They are now also proud CEPU members.
