This is a fantastic result.

CPSU must provide 3 working days notice to each employer now before any action commenced from our list is protected.  Only those actions balloted are available.

DO NOT COMMENCE ACTION UNTIL ADVISED BY CPSU.

CPSU members are not required to provide any information to your Employer about your participation or otherwise in any of our bans or limitations once commenced.

DO NOT BE SPOOKED BY DEPARTMENTAL MEMOS TO THE CONTRARY.

CPSU will circulate formal advice to members shortly about our rights when participating in protected action. 

CPSU strongly encourages all members to attend the meetings being held in your workplace to discuss the Protected Action.  Contact your Organiser if your workplace needs a briefing.

Protected Action Workplace Intel Pro-Forma

It's very important that workplaces prepare for Protected Industrial Action by confidentially canvassing all members about the action that is available and the level of support for each action at your work.

Visit here to view/print our Protected Action Info Sheet.

Complete this Pro-Forma and fax to CPSU on (03) 9662 4591 ASAP.

Your non union colleagues are encouraged to participate to assist in securing for all a real wage increase but they must be a CPSU member to be protected under federal law.

Bans and limitations that are sanctioned by Fair Work Australia will commence as early as next week.
