This morning, Deakin management circulated its proposed Enterprise Agreement 2023 (2023 EA), with voting to open next week for five days (Monday 24 April to Friday 28).  

This draft has NOT been agreed by your Union because it is NOT a good deal.  

VOTE NO so we can win you a better deal with better pay and conditions. 

Zoom Information session:  

• Register: Tuesday 18 April at 12pm

To read the Union’s breakdown of management's offer, see here. 

What’s wrong with management's offer?  

• the pay offer is too low,  

• there are no meaningful reductions to workload pressures; and  

• no targets for secure jobs and decasualisation.

What happens if you vote No?  

Deakin’s Enterprise Agreement will apply for the next three years if this deal is voted up. But if the majority of Deakin staff vote NO, management will get the clear message that staff want them to come back to the bargaining table to negotiate a better deal with the NTEU. At other universities where similar management attempts to bypass negotiations and put inadequate deals to staff votes have been voted down, managements have already come back to the bargaining table with better wage offers. 

This is not the best that Deakin management can do. Their draft ‘agreement’ should get a fail grade, and they should be told to go back and listen to the voice of staff – the NTEU. 

VOTE NO so we can win you a better deal, with better pay and conditions.
