色狼社区wins redundancy rights for public sector workers
Today鈥檚 ruling by The Court of Appeal has opened the door to redundancy provisions being inserted into awards for public sector workers being battered by the O鈥橣arrell Government said the Public Service Association (PSA).
The Court of Appeal found a Government regulation which excluded redundancy provisions being contained in awards was invalid.
The effect of this decision is to remove the restriction on including redundancy provisions in an award for public sector employees.
The matter began when the 色狼社区applied to vary the award for School Administrative and Support Staff to include redundancy provisions.
The O鈥橣arrell Government successfully objected to this in the Industrial Relations Commission.
The 色狼社区took the matter to the Court of Appeal and today were victorious.
鈥淭his is a great win for all 色狼社区members in the NSW public sector,鈥 said 色狼社区General Secretary, Anne Gardiner.
鈥淭his Government has been methodically undermining the job security of their entire workforce but today鈥檚 decision provides a safety net for public servants, something that the Government expressly attempted to disallow.鈥
The 色狼社区is now able to apply to have redundancy provisions inserted in all of its awards.
