The É«ÀÇÉçÇøis still here for you
13 July 2021
During these difficult times the É«ÀÇÉçÇøis still here to support its members. If you have any questions or concerns please contact your local delegate, É«ÀÇÉçÇøindustrial staff or the É«ÀÇÉçÇøMember Support Centre on 1800 772 679. Irrespective of the constraints of the lockdown the É«ÀÇÉçÇøis available to lend its resources and support to its members.
Casual Keepers pay issues continue
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøcontinues the fight to ensure Casual Keepers at Taronga Zoo are paid at the rate that they deserve. Too many casuals are currently being paid at the Trainee Keeper Level 1 grade whilst performing duties and functions of the Trade and Keeper levels.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas written to Taronga demanding that this longstanding practice be rectified and that staff are paid the correct rate. The É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas stated that if Taronga fails to address this issue we will have no hesitation in bringing this matter to the Industrial Relations Commission. The É«ÀÇÉçÇøis currently awaiting Taronga’s response and will provide an update shortly after.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwould also like to remind our members that if your manager or supervisor asks you to attend a meeting to first ask what the meeting is about. If the meeting is regarding your work performance please ensure you have a support person by contacting your local delegates or the PSA.
These are obviously difficult times for all of New South Wales and the É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill continue to fight for our members in the New South Wales public service. It has never been more important to be a part of your union, so please encourage your colleagues to join at
