Evergreen: Important bargaining update

Dear Member,

Your enterprise agreement is going out for a vote!

Shortly, your employer will be asking all staff to vote on a new enterprise agreement.

Your enterprise agreement contains your wages and conditions at work, so it’s important everyone understands how the agreement will affect them and has a say in the vote.

The enterprise agreement will only be accepted if a majority of people who cast a vote, vote ‘yes’. Therefore, it’s up to you to decide if this agreement is good enough.

Evergreen is offering the following wage increases:

  • 3.5% or the FWC Annual Wage Review, whatever’s higher, from the FFPPOA July 2025

  • 3.25% or the FWC Annual Wage Review, whatever’s higher from the FFPPOA July 2026

Evergreen has agreed other to important changes in your proposed enterprise, including:

  • Buddy Shift Allowance
  • HSU Delegates Rights provision
  • Predictable hours for part-time employees
  • Minimum engagement of 4 hours for all employees

Next Steps

Voting will open 6am on Friday, 29 December and 2pm on Tuesday, 3 December.

Before voting opens, your employer must share a copy of the proposed agreement with you and provide details on all the proposed changes.

You can find a copy of your proposed enterprise agreement HERE.
