EB 2009 - NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE
The PSA was represented by President Lindsay Oxlad, General Secretary Jan McMahon, Chief Industrial Officer Peter Christopher and Industrial Officer Simon Johnson. During today's meeting the PSA expanded on its claim which sought an outcome in an Enterprise Agreement which as a total package provides worthwhile benefits to members, including: A fair and reasonable salary increase for all, with the first increase paid from 1 October 2009. Protection of existing conditions. Job security. Improvements to conditions and allowances. Agency / classification specific schedules to deal with particular requirements, including but not limited to Allied Health. In addition to the above, the PSA sought an up front cash payment as a further means of increasing take-home pay for members. PSA officials have also taken the opportunity offered by Government to all interested parties to meet with its representatives. Matters raised by members have been identified for consideration by Government in the context of achieving a worthwhile package of pay and conditions improvements. These discussions have included the need for a separate schedule for Allied Health, as well as others including CFS, Correctional Officers, Secure Care staff, Fisheries and grant funded employees. The PSA will continue to participate in negotiations with Government regarding the above with a view to achieving the best possible outcome for members.
