May Shaw Health Services
The first meeting to discuss negotiations for a replacement agreement took place on Wednesday 5 March 2025, this first meeting was to discuss how often parties are to meet. The ANMF is preparing a Log of Claims (LoC) survey which we request members to give their full attention to. If you are passionate about advocating for your fellow colleague’s workplace entitlements and would like to be a part of the negotiation team, please let your ANMF organiser know so an invitation to the meetings can be arranged. If you are a workplace delegate, then these meetings can be arranged to be in work time hours.
