City of Greater Geelong Enterprise Agreement

The claims protocol defines what ASU members expect from CoGG in the next enterprise contract. It is presented to management and discussed during negotiations. “[He] is supported by the city`s leadership team to recognize that we are living in a very difficult time for our community.” MEETINGS OF ASU members are being held throughout the city of Greater Geelong to prepare a claims protocol for upcoming trade negotiations. Geelong City Council will vote on a salary freeze, while senior executives will waive salary reviews over the next 12 months, City Hall said. The first meeting took place on Tuesday, February 11 at the Belmont depot, and fantastic demands have already been added. You should have already received a copy of a proposal for a one-year EBA rotation, as well as advice on how to implement the proposed leave management clause.

The Council will vote on the Council`s proposal to freeze quotas at its meeting next Tuesday in recognition of the financial impact of COVID-19. These meetings are meant to hear from ASU members, but membership forms will be available the same day for everyone who comes and gets involved, so bring a colleague who is not in ASU and we will work together to achieve a better result for everyone! Cr Aitken, the chair of the board`s finance portfolio, praised CEO Martin Cutter and other senior executives who have pledged to freeze their salaries as well. The proposed motion also states that city councils will “push the next elected council” to do the same by June 30, 2021. At next Tuesday`s meeting, council will consider a request to freeze the council`s and mayor`s allowances from July 1 until the end of his term in November. The proposal comes after the neighbouring Surf Coast County Council on Tuesday approved its 2020/21 budget, which includes a 2.2% pay rise for council members. The board`s management team and all senior executives, a total of about 50 employees, had also agreed not to have salary increases for the next fiscal year, City Hall said.

Your union representatives have worked to improve the offer, now this is your chance to express your opinion by voting to accept or reject the proposal. .
