Members are advised that the first phase of Protected Industrial Action (PIA) commences at 0800 hrs on 1 April 2019. The notification was sent to ACT FR last week.
The Bans to apply are:
- A ban on complying with a direction to remove union badging or industrial material displayed on, in or around work locations, appliances or UFU members;
- Only attending meetings at which any of the ESA Commissioner, Chief
Officer, Executive Officer, or ESA Directors, attend if the purpose of the meeting is notified in advance as being about operational incidents, operational de-‐briefing, training, securing public health or
occupational health and safety, or enterprise agreement bargaining; - A ban on creating a record of any employee’s participation in protected industrial action;
- A ban on assisting in the preparation of ministerial reports;
Please note that the UFU intends that any industrial action taken by us will
not endanger life, the personal safety or health, or the welfare of the population or any part of it. Members are instructed to apply these bans ONLY, and to not apply any other bans at this stage.
