Dear Member
Welcome to 2023 and our weekly bulletin. Our amalgamation with Vic T&S is being transitioned as we create one membership database.
With a new Labor Government and new IR legislation, things will move at a pace this year.
Most members are locked into EBAs and until they expire, we cannot do much to change pay increases, except by pressuring the bosses to compensate for the large cost of living increases.
We do wish to campaign to end the unfair job family conditions. The reviews and pay rises are not transparent. A poor rating in one year seems to affect you forever - most unfair. So we are looking for members on job family to share their experiences to build a case to improve your conditions.
We look forward to your continued contributions.
In this Bulletin items on Australia Day, GAT, Post Air Conditioning and Kemps Creek

Dear Member,
Thank you for your support and involvement over the past year. It was busy and eventful. Next year we have a different industrial relations environment. We have several disputes to escalate. And we have inflation and poor EBAs in Telstra and Post. It will be an interesting year.
May I wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year. See you next year!
