Majority support for an EBA at TIO!

Monday, 09 January 2012

 After some months of hard work and organisation, ASU members at the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) have overwhelmingly voted for a majority support determination for their workplace!

 The majority support determination means that Fair Work Australia is satisfied that a majority of employees want to bargain with their employer, TIO. TIO have so far not agreed to begin bargaining.

ASU members at TIO are now working hard to get their colleagues involved so that everyone has a say in bargaining. The union will be consulting with members to finalise a log of claims, and will then return to Fair Work Australia to seek a bargaining order.

"It's great to see so many people from TIO signing up to join the union" said TIO organiser Gail Drummond. "The word is really getting around that the more members we have, the stronger our bargaining position will be when we get TIO to the bargaining table. Members have already done a great job and we expect to get a really strong log of claims going soon".
