What's Next? - VPSA2009:

Our current Agreement (VPSA 06) expires on 1st March next year and this week s pay rise is the last under this Agreement.

CPSU negotiated service wide Agreements have set new standards of employment across ALL government Departments and buried the divisive and inferior individual workplace agreements (AWA s) pursued throughout the 90 s by the previous Kennett government.

CPSU has commenced our preparation for the new bargaining round by engaging with our members about the items and issues that members believe need to be addressed.

Pay Rises, Classification structural changes, Allowances, Leave, Workload & Superannuation are all issues being identified by members.

What you want and what happens next is up to you ‚Äö?Ѭ?..
