CITY OF HOBART REFUSES TO CONTINUE BARGAINING
Following two strong no votes, the City of Hobart General Manager has taken his bat and ball and gone home.
He is refusing to bargain unless members back down on their claims first.
Nick Heath claims a 40% vote in favour of the agreement is enough to stop bargaining. What he has failed to realise is that 50% more employees voted no to his pathetic offer than those who voted yes.
We're asking for job security in Tasmania's largest Council. We're seeking to maintain additional superannuation contributions. And we're seeking a fair pay rise in line with community expectations.
We WILL get them back to the table.
DID YOU KNOW:
The Directors and the General Manager at this Council received combined salary increases in the rage of 16 - 19% last financial year but are only offering 2.5% to their employees; despite budgeting for 3% increases for the next 20 years. Rates in this municipality also increased by 3.25% for rate payers, many of whom are also employees.

Across the north east of Victoria and in East Gippsland, ASU members are working to restore communities. This includes members who are out around Omeo working hard to prevent trees collapsing, removing damaged trees and making areas safe. This is important work that is part of re-opening roads to isolated communities.
Two years’ ago the Victorian Government ran the first ever family violence workforce census. Sector peaks are supporting this, with Family Safety Victoria (FSV) and key organisations. Meaningful data helps to support meaningful decisions and the ASU is encouraging all relevant workers to participate!
The census closes 28 February and needs to hear from workers across a wide range of workforces that come into contact with, provide support or assistance in family violence, even if it is not the main focus or function of their role. Please respond and share with people who work in:
• Counselling
• Disability Services
• Employment Services
• Financial and Gambling Services
• Housing / Social Housing
• LGBTIQ Services
• Older Victorians services
• Policy, Research and Advocacy –
