The ballot on Executive’s proposed Enterprise Agreement (EA) is now open and it’s time for all CSIRO staff to vote on the offer.
The Staff Association urges all CSIRO staff to participate in the process. Members should consider the information the Staff Association has provided on management’s proposal.
If adopted, Executive’s proposal would remove 20 per cent of enforceable rights and working conditions from the current EA; including those relating to job security, consultation and representation.
On this basis, the Staff Association recommends that all CSIRO staff Vote No.
If the majority of staff Vote No, the Staff Association will continue to collectively campaign for a fairer deal which preserves workplace rights and conditions at CSIRO.
The ballot runs from Friday 16 June until Thursday 22 June 2017.
