ASU members at Gannawarra Shire Council have overwhelmingly endorsed a campaign of legally protected industrial action in support of their Enterprise Bargaining claim.
ASU Organiser Danny Harris said that in the face of threats, intimidation and bullying from senior management, members have refused to accept a ridiculous position put to them by an obviously out of touch and alarmingly misinformed CEO.
“Management’s offer would see substantial cuts to wages and conditions, including to some of the most vulnerable and lowly paid staff members. Our members deliberately developed a most reasonable EBA claim, taking into account all factors - including Shire finances - and are angered by management’s insulting attitude.”
“Workplace bans will be put in place this week, and will be strengthened more for each day this dispute continues. This is the first time that ASU members at Gannawarra Shire have been forced to take industrial action, thanks to a management representative who completely misunderstands Local Government, their community and their workers.”
“Our members remain steadfast in their endeavours to achieve a fair outcome and remain ready and willing to engage in meaningful negotiations, not an insulting cynical charade intended to waste time and ratepayers’ money.”
“Our members at Gannawarra Shire seek and deserve wages and conditions comparable to the majority of Victorian council workers, and they will fight to win this result.”
