Calvary – Southern Hospitals

Lenah Valley and St John’s Hospitals

The ANMF will be discussing the Log of Claims (LoC) to put to Calvary for the next Enterprise Agreement (EA). A survey was sent out and thank you to all the members who filled it in. If you would like to be involved in the bargaining process, being a Job Representative entitles you to attend the bargaining meetings. The EA is about you and your entitlements. The ANMF represents you at the bargaining table, but it is more effective if members are there with us as members can speak to their lived experiences. If you would like to be a Job Rep and assist in the EA process, please contact Southern Organiser Jane Pond at jane.pond@anmftas.org.au
