Recently senior management of St Agnes Care and Lifestyle discussed planned changes to rosters at a staff meeting. Your local organiser Karen Wiles has written to management requesting details of the proposed changes; specifically, how the changes will impact staff. At the time of writing no formal response has been received other than the minutes of the staff meeting which can be viewed here.

Once notification has been received this this information will be shared with members.

However, in the meantime It is important that members know their rights in any change process. You have the right:

• to be consulted about the change. That gives you the right to raise any issues with the change and management must give consideration to those issues.
• to say NO! Contracted hours cannot be cut without your approval. Cuts to jobs can occur, but only with agreement, a redundancy or redeployment to a comparable position. Do not sign anything you are not happy with.
• for the changes to be put to you in writing and time to consider them.
• to representation! Ensure you are represented by the HSU when discussing major workplace change.

Only HSU members will be represented during this process. Encourage your workmates to join online at www.hsu.asn.au/join or phone 1300 478 679. You can also contact your Organiser Karen Wiles by email [E-Mail not displayed] or calling 0408164519

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.
