That the 色狼社区pursues a 1 year term and further, that the 色狼社区oppose any attempt to include a 鈥渘o extra claims鈥 clause in the awards, provided that the pay increase achieved is payable from the first full pay period in July.鈥
Under the Government鈥檚 wages law we are only able to claim 2.5% a year.
Any increase in excess of 2.5% must be balanced with a trade-off of conditions, a measure to which the 色狼社区will not agree.
The acceptance of a 鈥渘o extra claims鈥 clause would restrict our ability to raise and defend a range to defend a range of other matters that may arise over the course of the terms of these awards.
The existing awards expire on 30 June.
The 色狼社区lodged the award variations on 9 April.
