News Bank Pledge - Safe as Houses
Members Equity Bank has offered the support to the 16 Radio Rental staff locked out of their Adelaide employer's premises for a month.
Tony Beck, Head of Workplace Business says Members Equity Bank recognises the Radio Rentals lock out could affect the employees ability to meet their home loan repayments. "We acknowledge this time is particularly hard for those involved, both emotionally and financially," Beck says. "Workplace disputes can directly affect an employee's ability to meet the required minimum payments as specified in their mortgage contract." Beck says with employer lock-outs a tactic being used more and more, workers with mortgages are under extreme pressure because of mortgage commitments. "Members Equity Bank is extending an invitation to those employees with an ME home loan, affected by industrial action, to approach the Bank for assistance. "All requests will be individually assessed. However, a customer may request to extend the term of their mortgage contract in order to reduce the amount of each payment, or defer a payment or payments during the period of hardship. Members Equity Bank (ME) works in partnership with the ACTU, affiliated unions and various industry superannuation funds to deliver a fair deal to working Australian families. ME is 100% Australian owned and is committed to providing exceptional customer service.
