This improved NAB offer is a win for thousands of bank workers who, last November, rejected the bank’s previous offer which failed to provide fair pay rises.
More than 80% of NAB staff have now secured guaranteed fixed salary increases instead of relying on NAB’s market-based model which eroded our members’ standard of living.
Union members, acting collectively gave NAB a clear message that they deserved better pay rises than the bank was prepared to pay them and by standing their ground, they have achieved a much fairer outcome.
We want the CBA to suspend the mandate and engage in proper consultation to jointly develop a working from home policy which should then be enshrined in the CBA Enterprise Agreement.
For some CBA staff, their teams are not local so they are being made to go to an office to engage in video meetings with other workers interstate or overseas, or working from home that day.
CBA Executive Sian Lewis couldn't even show up to a meeting about the work from home mandate she herself announced.

Hundreds of our members at CBA have contacted the union complaining the bank was overturning working arrangements that have worked well for the bank and its staff.
The FSU is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Simon Crean. As a leader in the union movement, he made significant contributions and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family during this difficult time.
"The RBA should be setting an example to the financial services sector by paying its workers the correct rates of pay and appropriate entitlements all the time,"
Reserve Bank underpaid almost 1200 staff au.sports.yahoo.com/bank-und…#australianunions#rba#fair
Ten years of Coalition Govt saw wage theft become rampant across the finance sector. Each year 000s of finance workers have had hundreds of millions of dollars stolen from them. From CBA to Suncorp, we’ve seen our biggest employers from right across the sector rip off workers.
While it is appropriate that the Reserve Bank of Australia apologies to staff for underpaying them, the RBA should be setting an example to the financial services sector by paying its workers the correct rates of pay and appropriate entitlements all the time.
Westpac is a very profitable bank built off the backs of hardworking staff. No reason has been provided for these 300 job cuts and it’s just a slap in the face to those who have worked so hard to get the bank to where it is today.
Westpac has just announced it will axe 300 jobs and close 5 branches. Westpac workers have already been struggling with excessive workload demands, and these cuts mean those who are left behind will need to do more with less.

To deliver these cuts in such a callous manner amid one of the worst cost-of-living crises we have ever experienced is a blow staff and their families cannot afford.
This will have a significant impact on frontline customer service and workers’ ability to deliver on the level of support the community wants and deserves.
