Bans will include the refusal to issue infringement notices in green zones, loading zones, permit signs and car parks, while also putting a stop on decision making for all applications (including permit applications) and a ban on checking and actioning emails from 12pm each day.
ASU Organiser David Nunns said the three-year wage offer to staff is significantly less than what is provided for in the 2013/2014 Council budget.
“Staff at the Council are fed up with management and their incapacity to negotiate in good faith. That frustration has led to a growing list of bans that will continue until a resolution is reached. The ASU is eager to get back to the negotiating table to ensure a fair and equable offer is put forward for the hard-working staff at the Council."
“Management’s current offer does nothing to resolve the wage parity/wage inequality issues between departments. In fact, the proposal actually increases the differential between identical classifications between departments, which is something that is creating a lot of angst among employees.”
“Employees have already shown their disapproval in the proposed Boroondara Corporate Support Services Agreement with a large majority of staff voting down the offer.”
“Apart from the unfair wage offer, management’s Family Violence Clause is also sub-standard, especially when compared to the agreements in place with other councils across the state. A fair Family Violence Clause provides support and leave for people experiencing serious issues, and prevents individuals losing their jobs with valuable time away when it is needed most.”
“We hope management want to begin a process of negotiating fairly, but until that time bans will continue across the council.”
