With enterprise bargaining crippled by a hostile Government, 1 in 5 jobs lost from the organistation in two years, and the future of public good science under threat – it’s time to fight for and value CSIRO.
We need to value our workers and value our science.
The Value Principles
Public science is for the public good. Government cuts to CSIRO are doing untold damage to Australia. Critical research is being halted into climate science, biodiversity, urban water, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer research, geothermal energy and liquid fuels. Science at CSIRO should not be used purely for profiteering. It belongs to all of us.
Science is of great value to the public.
We call on CEO Larry Marshall and the Turnbull Government to suspend all job losses and not implement any proposed changes until consultation occurs. CSIRO staff must be provided with a genuine opportunity to influence the decision makers.
It’s time to value CSIRO staff
As a collective we will stand strong to defend our rights and conditions. We will ensure that our current Enterprise Agreement is protected and enforce our rights to consultation and conditions to protect jobs.
We value our rights and conditions.
Bad decisions are being made by the Chief Executive and the Executive team. CSIRO’s reputation is suffering. CSIRO’s Executive must be held to account by staff and the Australian and international science communities.
Let’s continue to value CSIRO.
