Sydney Water EBA Campaign
The Sydney Water Award expires on June 30th 2009 and will be replaced by an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA).Your new agreement will set your employment conditions and your entitlements. Union members are campaigning to ensure the EBA is fair and equitable. We need to be united and strong to ensure we negotiate a positive agreement for all staff for the years to come.
