By David Hanna - Assistant Secretary

The new EBA campaign for 2009 is under way with the new log of claims being endorsed on the sites with the collecting of member’s mobile phone numbers to notify them of their EBA meetings.
This worked as a great way to keep you informed through negotiations. If you haven’t given your number to us yet you can call the office on 32362633 and state your name, number and company to be added to the list.

Time to pay back old members

David.jpg

At the moment there are some jobs on hold because of the economy but there is enough coming out of the ground to keep most members in work.
 
It is time for the industry to pay back older members for their dedication and years of service.  Older members who would usually be leaving the industry at this stage will be encouraged to stay in the industry and the union – not just as peggies but also as mentors to the younger blokes.
 

Assistant Secretary Report

Welcome back.

 

We have hit the ground running in relation to the promotion and deliverance of improved safety standards on sites, which had declined drastically under the failed Howard regime.

Employers in the main have eased their hard line approach towards right of entry and access issues and this will help improve safety standards across the industry.
