EB General Staff Recent Updates

** GENERAL STAFF ENTERPRISE BARGAINING UP-DATE ** At the General Staff Enterprise Bargaining meeting held on Tuesday 28 March between the University and the CPSU, the following issues were discussed: 1.The CPSU tabled two additional claims for consideration in the EB process and advised that the CPSU will provide a detailed clause on each item at a later date. 2. Ian Gallaway made the following statement: "Because it is CPSU's view that UNE missused previous EB minutes between UNE and CPSU, the union is not agreeable to minutes being kept of future EB meetings. CPSU believe however that a record of agreed outcomes of proposed actions by either or both of the parties to negotiations can be achieved by exchange of letters and is agreeable to this method". 4. The parties had discussion on the claim for "no forced redundancy" and UNE tabled an initial "no forced retrenchments" proposal. . 5. After some discussion on the Managing Change document it was agreed that the University will distribute a copy of the reworked Academic Managing Change clause to CPSU and CPSU will prepare a draft for particular change in employment status. 7. UNE advised CPSU that discussion has taken place with the NTEU to discuss extending on-call provisions to staff other than IT staff and it was agreed the University will provide the CPSU with redrafted copies.
