Melaleuca
The ANMF met with the employer on 5 December 2019. The employer is adamant that it cannot financially sustain paid meal breaks for the term of the new enterprise agreement. The ANMF advised the employer that our members would not agree to the removal of the paid meal breaks. The employer is therefore revising its offer. The ANMF will be in contact with members as soon as we receive the employer’s new proposal.
Updates correct as at 12 December 2019.
