This is what we want


So what is it that workers really want?

As far as I can tell its;
In clause 9.22 it talks of a review which examines delivery issues in the context of the future needs of the company, and the expected future enviroment and customers requirements.
We feel it should also consider the issues and needs of the Workers, and should put into writting a comitment to identify and examine employees issues.

Instead of clause 9.23 saying DODO trials will only continue with agreement of AP and CEPU at National and State level it must read "No Full time or Part time DODO to be implemented."

We feel we are entitled to back pay from the end of EBA5 and the only way we will forgoe this back pay is an increase in the pay percentage (from 10%) and a much higher first percentage increase.
We think 5 or 6% increase from the date of certification and 2% every 8 months till the end of the agreement would be a fairer apraisal of the work performed by us.

We don't feel it's right to have casual staff working for 12 week periods, clearly these can be employed with more transperancy as fixed time contractors or like.

We are still concerned about Franchising and feel you should leave the current conversion policy for traditional Post Offices and conversion to LPO's.

On another note, it seems we will be receiving an early pressie (maybe as early as next pay period) from Post in the form of a Pay Increase similar to the one they want to give us at certification of EBA6, don't be bought off!
This is just a cheap tactic to butter you up and get you to vote yes to a deal which still needs some work to make it fair for us the Workers.

Anyway we should all get ready for more industrial action if they don't give ground on our requests for changes to EBA6.
