AEDT. Roles and reporting line changes to the team were announced recently

People Hub Workforce:CPSU is writing to ABC management
and ABC Board this week about the serious systems and compliance issues
Workforce Coordinators are experiencing with the new system. Approximately
90 Workforce Coordinators dialed into a special CPSU meeting last week to
discuss the unrealistic pressures they have been put under to make the
ABC’s $30 million system work. Related but separate to this, all ABC staff
are invited to provide their feedback on their initial experiences with the
system in a short survey

Next steps with Comcare in Archives & Library:CPSU
will be meeting with local management and the health and safety regulator,
Comcare, separately in coming weeks to provide comment on proposed
solutions to health and safety issues in Archives and Library. CPSU members
sought the assistance of Comcare following six months of ineffective action
by the relevant ABC managers.
Reclassification Briefings and Workshops:CPSU
representatives have completed a national round of Band reclassification
briefings and workshops with interested members. Members who missed out and
are interested in participating in a workshop will have one last
opportunity to do so before Christmas.
