NewsNRMA Candidates Address Union Concerns
The Finance Sector Union has lifted a call for union members to defer their votes in the NRMA elections, after all the leading candidates clarified their policies relating to its workforce.
The FSU had requested the deferral after receiving what it described as an "inadequate" response from the pro-demutualisation Members First ticket. That team has now responded to survey questions on their attitudes to demutualisation as well as industrial issues such as job security, permanent employment, customer service levels and support for collective agreements and awards. FSU state secretary Geoff Derrick says that while tickers differ on the issue of demutualisation, there is now a broad commitment to collective bargaining, job security and adequate staffing levels.
