MTC'S WAGES OFFER |
As you know, MTC have an offer out to a vote. This is the same offer that was overwhelmingly rejected by members only a few weeks ago.
The union is recommending that all members vote NO to the current offer. Members have participated in three stoppages now, and have been involved in one of the biggest industrial action campaigns in the recent history of the PSA. We have not come this far to accept a sub-par offer from MTC. To be clear, a ‘no’ vote does not mean that our next step after the vote will be further industrial action. What a ‘no’ vote will do is force MTC back to the table. If MTC refuse to come to the table, then the union will seek the assistance of the Fair Work Commission in resolving the dispute over wages.
However, we are always keen to understand where the membership is at and how members are feeling about the current situation. We want to gauge whether members' feelings towards the offer have changed, or whether members are still overwhelmingly opposed to the offer and want to fight for more.
Remember, these surveys are anonymous, so nobody will ever know how you voted.
