Wage talks tomorrow

AUSTRALIAN Services Union representatives and Gannawarra Shire Council management will meet tomorrow in an attempt to resolve a wage dispute between the two bodies.

The union announced last week its members would undertake rolling bans after staff rejected council’s Enterprise Bargaining Agreement.

Staff supporting the action have only worked for certain periods of the day, with tasks not completed.

These range from the collection of rubbish and fees, the mowing of reserves or herding of stray livestock.

Other staff have also not completed reports or taken phone calls for management.

“The rolling bans will continue, and will increase if negotiations break down tomorrow,” ASU organiser, Danny Harris said.
