We can confirm that the proposed enterprise agreement for Launceston Aquatic Centre has successfully been voted up and 98.5% of the staff that voted have said Yes.
The EA will now be prepared to be sent to Fair Work to be approved. Once the EA is approved, it will become enforceable and your back pay and pay increases will take effect.
Just some of the improvements made to this agreement include:
- Pay Increases of:
3.75% – 2022 (backdated)
3.75% – 2023
3.50% or CPI – 2024
3.50% or CPI – 2025 - Long Service Leave pro rata after seven years
- Gender Affirmation Leave (the first in Tasmanian councils)
- IVF Leave
We would like to thank your ASU delegates for all the dedication and work they have put in during the EA negotiations as it has been a united team effort.
By encouraging your workmates to join the ASU we will have a stronger voice for workers at Launceston City Council. It is easy for anyone who is not yet a member to join online at www.asu.asn.au/asujoin
