The ANMF has been advised that the EA ballot vote was unsuccessful. Organisers will be visiting Hobart Private and St Helen’s to seek member feedback for the reasons for rejecting the proposed agreement. The ANMF will be asking if members want to commence industrial action. This will be by a protected action ballot. If the majority of members want to commence action, then all members will need to send their vote back for it to count. 50% need to send their ballot back or it will be unsuccessful as in the previous 2 protected action ballots.

As members are aware the Agreement which had been lodged with the Fair Work Commission some months back was not approved by the Commission. The parties have been discussing a resolution to the concerns raised and a new draft has been produced. The employer is holding information sessions for staff across the State and a ballot will open from 13 July 2021.

Calvary South

The ANMF met with members from St Johns Ward to progress workload concerns through the workload clause in the new State-wide Nurses Enterprise Agreement. Members raised concerns regarding paid meal breaks for 3As and for nurses working night duty. The ANMF has followed up with Calvary to rectify this issue.

Lenah Valley and St John’s

The Workload Consultative Committee meeting on June 30 was cancelled due to not having a quorum at the meeting. The ANMF has written to management asking for the terms of reference for this quorum, noting that at other sites a quorum is comprised of union and management representatives, and formally raising the concerns of members regarding workloads at Calvary. The ANMF is waiting for a response.

Updates correct as at 8 July 2021.
