The ACTPS is under pressure. Canberrans deserve a strong ACT public service that delivers vital services to the community such as Health, Child Protection, Education, Housing Services and much more. We believe the ACTPS must be an employer of choice if it is to attract and retain staff given fierce competition with the Federal Public Service. We know the best way to attract and retain employees is to provide competitive pay and conditions for workers.
The CPSU and other unions are entering into bargaining for replacement enterprise agreements this year and members are telling us what is important to them. ACTPS CPSU members deserve.
- Fair pay rises delivered on time (including full backpay if required),
- Superannuation equity of 15.4 % to ensure there is not disparity between ACTPS workers and the Federal and ACTPS Public Service,
- Enhanced leave types and flexible work arrangements such as Reproductive Leave and access to expanded Domestic Violence leave,
- Classification levels that adequately remunerate workers for the complexity and skills required to undertake their work, ยท Secure jobs.
