ASU delegates and members from Nillumbik, and ASU staff turning up at tonight’s Council Meeting to show their support for members providing Kerbside Waste Services. Standing up for keeping council jobs in house and no privatisation of waste in Nillumbik!! In the Bin!! 💪
UPDATE: after 3 hours of waiting for the waste management item to come up, and some debate on the issue, Councillors voted 5-2 to proceed with market testing. But hey, the Mayor said our members do such a great job they’ve got nothing to worry about. If only it were so simple, but the fight’s not over. Fair Work here we come. Watch this space comrades...well done to all the members who lasted the distance past 10:30, solidarity!👏👏

It’s supposed to be the season of good cheer – but Nillumbik Shire didn’t get the memo. At tonight’s meeting, the Council will decide whether to take the first step in outsourcing the kerbside collection service. The job security of 14 workers is at risk. If you care about secure jobs in Nillumbik, join ASU members at the Council Meeting tonight.
Council Meeting: Civic Centre, Civic Drive, Greensborough. The meeting starts at 7.30pm.
