CPSU at UNE

I am delighted to be able to report that our members meeting today has unanimously passed the following motion:

That this meeting of CPSU members endorses the “University of New England General Staff and ELC Teachers Collective Agreement 2009 – 2012”

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend, and also to those of you who gave your proxies. Your endorsement is the first step towards cementing the fantastic new conditions that have been won for you, and all General Staff at UNE.

Where do we go from here? You will receive a UNE-Official in the next few days, detailing how the vote for all General Staff will be run. It is vital that you remember to vote this second time. If you have any questions about the voting process, please don’t hesitate to contact CPSU President, and EB team member, Jen Mitchell.

Today also marked the launch of our “Love Our Agreement” campaign. CPSU members know that our new and improved agreement is fantastic, but now we need your help to spread the message to everyone on campus.

If you love brand new conditions like:

• a 17% payrise (compounded over the life of the agreement)
• TOIL at overtime rates
• Improved conditions and job security for fixed-term staff
• 25% loading and long service leave for casuals
• 2 weeks paid partner leave
• General Staff workload protections
• Improved classifications review procedures
• The ability to buy more annual leave
• Trade union rights
• Intellectual Property rights for General Staff
• Paid relocation costs

…Don’t keep quiet about it- share the love!

A “Yes” vote at the all General Staff ballot is the only way to ensure that these fantastic conditions will be yours. So get out there and make it happen!
