Discussions on benefits for casual workers continue
Your negotiating team met with AUArts on Jan. 20 and 21 to continue bargaining. We had productive meetings and are moving closer to completing our non-monetary negotiations.
We had lengthy discussions about casual workers. We proposed language that ensures casual employees who work the equivalent of part-time hours will have their status corrected and will receive the appropriate benefits. We have not yet come to an agreement with AUArts on this proposal.
We reached an agreement that a medical note may be required after three days absence, instead of shall be required.
Next meetings
We are scheduled to meet again on Feb. 11 to exchange our ingoing monetary proposals.
Wear red on these dates to show your support. You can also send photos of you and your coworkers wearing red to photos@aupe.org to be posted on AUPE’s social media.
Please contact a member of your negotiating team if you have any questions or feedback about this bargaining update.
