Hunter Water Australia holding your pay to ransom!

Published on Monday, 26 July, 2010

Hunter Water Australia has decided to put their Enterprise Agreement out to a vote – again. They have changed very little in this version – it’s basically the exact same Agreement that was already rejected in May!

Hunter Water Australia employees have been treated like second class citizens for years, getting paid less, with less conditions than Hunter Water Corporation. Instead of finishing the negotiation in good faith to address these problems, the bosses are trying to force you to accept a bad deal by holding this year’s 4% increase and your back pay as ransom.

Don’t fall for this dirty trick. At Hunter Water Corp and at Sydney Water last year the bosses tried exactly the same move but ASU members continued fighting for a better agreement which they won AND they won their pay increase & back pay!
