Your union acting to support a safe workplace at Infrastructure

Two components of this are good arrangements that affirm your right to representation, and fair, independent mechanisms to resolve disputes should they arise. Management has produced draft arrangements that potentially erode both of these provisions.

What’s being proposed?

• Limited role of your union representatives
• Disputes would be resolved internally by the OHS Chairperson.

What is CPSU doing?

Your union will be continuing discussions with management with a view to having these issues resolved. We will be seeking that health and safety arrangements:

• affirm your right to be represented on health and safety issues; and
• provide a fair and independent mechanism to resolve disputes like management agreed to in negotiating the DOTARS collective agreement.
