Absolutely right Gus. We are the Union. Members and reps at the coal face won this ballot in the face of some of the worst provocation by local managers acting under national instructions. Some might say the "Nuremberg Defence" applies, I dont.
Lets hope any national resolution involves an independent IR/ER review and that some action is taken against offending managers.
In the meantime the national leadership need to be aware that another Pay and MOd deal which allows RM to steam roller through job cuts is not acceptable. We work for a national public service and we should have national terms and conditions wherever we work.
A big thank you to all who voted Yes.
