News Carmel Saves Job, Loses Bonus
Carmel Bourke told the Sydney Rights at Work rally she had been informed this week she would not be receiving the annual bonus, valued at between $3000 and $5000. While she has not been told the reasons she failed her performance review, Carmel says she has been under pressure from managers for making public comment on the off-shoring proposal. Finance Sector Union state secretary Geoff Derrick says the decision reeks of pay-back over the campaign to halt the off-shore of Westpac's Concord transactions centre.. "Carmel is a dead-set hero for her courage is standing up for her job and the jobs of her co-workers," Derrick says. Carmel received a heroe's welcome when she took the stage alongside NSW Premier Morris Iemma before 40,000 Sydney protestors. She thanks the public for their support and paid tribute to the work of the FSU. Unions NSW secretary John Robertson told the crowd it was an historic win against one of Australia's strongest corporation. "You sent the bank the message that Australian companies have a responsibility to their workers; you can't send jobs to the lowest bidder and expect customer loyalty in return."
