This week HSU representatives met with Heritage Care management about your new enterprise agreement.

Heritage Care have agreed to start negotiations early next year, so it’s time for union members to set our priorities for the next agreement.

If your colleagues are not yet union members, now is the time for them to get involved and have a say too. New members can join online at www.hsu.asn.au/join or by calling 1300 478 679.

Heritage Care also said that they are currently exploring potential options for sale of the business. While there is no further information than that at this stage, Heritage have commit to keep talking with the HSU about any changes that could impact members.

We will keep all HSU members up to date with any new information and we will consult directly with HSU members about changes to your workplace.

Remember, this new agreement will apply to Heritage Care staff only. But we say that everyone working in aged care deserves better pay and conditions and the HSU will be working with local delegates and members, to push for improvements across all sites.

We’ll be holding further discussions in the new year to endorse our log of claims, so make sure that you and your colleagues are active and informed.

Don’t forget to have your say in the bargaining survey today.

In unity,

Gerard Hayes

Secretary, HSU NSW/ACT/QLD
