Manning Base: Cafeteria closure and wages offer – important union meeting!

Dear Member,

COME TO AN IMPORTANT UNION MEETING – WEDNESDAY, 24 JULY 1pm, LVL 2-POPULATION HEALTH MEETING ROOM.

Earlier this week, the HSU received correspondence HealthShare intends to close the café service at four hospitals, including Manning Base. You can read the notice here.

Members have raised concerns around what this proposal means for them, including a potential loss of space to take breaks but also where you will be able to access meals and dining facilities, as local retail options are very limited. 

The impact of a potential closure is far reaching for both members and the wider community.

 It’s important members have your say – the sub-branch has called an extraordinary branch meeting. 

  • Wednesday, 24 July at 1pm.
  • Level 2 – Population Health Meeting Room

This is not just a food services concern, but a union-wide issue – everyone should come to the meeting to discuss the potential impacts and a way forward.

You can view and print a flyer off here to help us spread the word.

The government’s wage offer will also be on the agenda for discussion, along with the proposed changes to cleaning PDs.

An online vote for members regarding the government wage offer has already gone out – but this meeting is a great opportunity to ask questions and have your views heard.

Do you know someone who isn’t an HSU member? Encourage them to join our Union today and have a say at work. We are always stronger when we stand together.
