Negotiations are continuing with a view to the new combined Victorian/Tasmanian agreement being put to the vote as a matter of priority. Lifeblood have conceded the ANMF request that the backpay for the 2% wage increase be paid to employees within a month of a successful vote to put additional money in the pockets of employees now rather than upon approval of the Agreement in the Fair Work Commission (given the existing delays in the FWC due to COVID 19 this could be many months away). The ANMF have also secured an extra week of annual leave for all employees including DSNA’s and EN’s over the course of 5 years. This will bring the annual leave entitlement in line with the Modern Award. Personal leave has been increased to 20 days per year. Penalty rates for Tasmanian employees for Sundays will be 175% which is in line with the Modern Award entitlement. Although Lifeblood does not currently operate on Sundays, it is contemplated that this will commence once the plasma service is expanded.
