Parklea Pay Offer

Question Title

* 1. Do you wish to:

Accept MTC’s offer:

You would be guaranteed 3.25 per cent salary increase in Year 1, 3.15 per cent in Year 2 and 3 per cent in Year 3 as per previous rejected offers from MTC;
You would be guaranteed a $1500 sign-on bonus as per the previous rejected offer from MTC;

There would be no right for industrial staff from your union to attend the Joint Workplace Consultative Committee (JWCC) to raise issues such as staffing and safety, as this clause would be unchanged;

The CPSU NSW would then run a case in the Commission to possibly win up to an additional 0.1 per cent (Y2) and 0.25 per cent (Y3) salary increases, which is what you have steadfastly demanded, and up to an additional $500 in the sign-on bonus (again, what you have steadfastly demanded).

Refuse the offer and pursue all other avenues including:

The CPSU NSW could return to the Fair Work Commission for further conciliation on both points;

The CPSU NSW could invite other parties such as Corrective Services NSW to participate in this conciliation in an attempt to break the deadlock;

Should this conciliation fail, the CPSU NSW could then run a case in the Commission under new powers which come into force next week to have the whole agreement, including salary increases and the JWCC, arbitrated.
