Late today Fair
Work Australia approved
the CEPU's applications
for a ballot of members
to authorise the taking
of protected industrial
action in Australia Post
and in Post Logistics.
"This is a
significant step forward
in attempting to
successfully approve
within our Australia
Post membership the
biggest workplace ballot
in the country," said
CEPU State
Secretary Jim Metcher.
"Tens of thousands of
CEPU members within
Australia Post and Post
Logistics will soon
decide on whether to
take a broad range of
industrial action in a
campaign to help get an
enterprise agreement
that protects and
improves their security,
safety and take home
pay.
"We've got a massive
challenge ahead of us
all - but members know
that winning the ballot
brings them closer to a
better agreement," Mr
Metcher said.
