Mackay Regional Council Certified Agreement Update 

The Services Union met with Mackay Regional Council management late last week to progress negotiations of your new Certified Agreement.

Discussion centred on drafting of clauses and we are pleased to say the meeting was productive. However, Council has stated opposition to our claim for payout of sick leave despite our efforts to craft the condition as a retention incentive for long-serving staff, and has stated opposition to our claim for Superannuation payments to be maintained during periods where workers are absent from work on workers’ compensation due to illness or injury.

The next meeting will take place on Thursday, 6th June.
