Message to add to the bottom of your work emails
Item 13 on the Churches of Christ Protected Industrial Action Ballot Order is a ban on sending emails unless they contain the following text:
Nurses, carers and allied health staff at Churches of Christ Care work hard to care for our residents. However, we are struggling to meet cost of living pressures. At the same time increased acuity and workload pressures have created a difficult working environment, with new staff being difficult to attract and retain. The current enterprise agreement expired in 2020.
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation is trying to negotiate a new enterprise agreement with management on our behalf. We are asking for better and competitive wages and conditions that are equal to other aged care providers. We are asking for decent working conditions including earlier access to long service leave, better parental leave and better annual leave to make our working lives better and to retain the staff who care for vulnerable residents.
We ask for your support and understanding as we engage in protected industrial action in support of a fair outcome. For more information go to anmfvic.asn.au/cceba
