Uniting Age Well

Uniting Age Well has issued a proposal to remove paid meal breaks from employees who are entitled to receive paid meal breaks under the current Enterprise Agreement (EA), and to pay these employees an allowance instead.

The ANMF has discussed its concerns with management but has not yet received a response addressing these concerns. If the dispute is not resolved by 17 August 2021, the ANMF will refer the dispute to the Fair Work Commission for resolution.
