ITEM 1: ACCEPTANCE OF PREVIOUS
MINUTES:
The minutes of the last meeting were accepted as
a true and accurate record.
ITEM 2: OTHER BUSINESS
2.1 CPSU Additional EB Claims
CPSU tabled two additional claims for
consideration in the enterprise bargaining process
including:
1. that all general Staff who have more than one
year of satisfactory service whilst at the top
salary step of HEO Level 1 automatically progress
to the first salary step of HEO Level 2; and
2. that the General Staff EBA contain a clause
guaranteeing a minimum General Staff/Academic Staff
ratio in faculties for the life of the agreement,
and this minimum ratio reflect existing
General/Academic staff number.
Ian Gallaway advised that the CPSU will provide
a detailed clause on each item at a later date.
2.2 CPSU Statement
The CPSU tabled their claims and will provide a
detailed clause on each item.
Ian Gallaway of CPSU made the following
statement:
"Because it is CPSU's view that UNE missued
previous Enterprise Bargaining 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."
2.1 No Forced Retrenchments
The parties had discussion on the claim for "no
forced redundancy" and UNE tabled an initial "no
forced retrenchments" proposal. After a short
recess the following amendments were suggested:
1. Paragraph one, line 1 should read ….. up
to and including level 10.
2. Paragraph 2, line 2 should read …..
reasonable position within the University that
is……
3. (a) should read Elect to accept an
offer….
4. Paragraph 6 should read The duties of any new
position…..
It was also agreed that "Reasonable Position"
could be added to definitions.
2.2 MANAGING CHANGE
UNE advised the Academic Managing Change clause
has been reworked for General Staff and the NTEU
has accepted the proposed clause subject to final
wording.
Particular change in employment status was
discussed such as where an employee is redeployed
to a lower level position, their existing salary
will be maintained until such time as the lower pay
level catches up with the employees current salary
rate. It was agreed that CPSU will consider the UNE
wording in the draft discussion document and advise
on any wording changes that may be required.
Action:
The University will distribute a copy of the
reworked Academic Managing Change clause to
CPSU.
CPSU to prepare a draft for particular change in
employment status.
2.3 ON-CALL PROVISIONS
UNE advised CPSU that discussion has taken place
with NTEU to discuss extending on-call provisions
to staff other than IT staff. The NTEU have also
provided a draft clause for the University to
consider and upgrade. The University advised that
it would not be looking for new conditions for IT
staff which are presently covered under a separate
enterprise agreement.
Action:
The University will provide the CPSU with
redrafted copies (after consideration of the NTEU
draft) for on-call provisions to staff other than
in IT.
Next Meeting:
The next meeting between the University and the
CPSU will be on Tuesday 4 April, beginning at
