On Thursday 25 June, a meeting of the Deakin Branch unanimously endorsed the following motion, calling on University management to:
- provide clarity on how the now-defunct Major Change Proposal (MWC) was designed and implemented;
- commit to significant progress towards the job security items in our Log of Claims (meaningful consultation, restriction of MWCs over the life of the agreement, enforceable entitlements to best-practice redeployment opportunities, enhanced redundancy provisions, and strengthened limitations on fixed-term employment and insecure work); and
- commit to transparency and accountability in University governance.
We will update staff at a zoom meeting at 12pm, Monday 6 July with our next steps. Register here.
A reminder that management has requested for bargaining to be delayed till 28 July. We will use this time to develop our bargaining strategy and to continue growing our branch.
