Comment on La Trobe Management’s Salary Offer
On Friday June 5 your NTEU bargaining team received a 'package offer' from management which included proposed salary increases for the life of the next agreement. These amount to 6 instalments of 2%, delivered every 6 months of the agreement, commencing this July. Our last pay rise was July 2008, and the last instalment of the pay offer is January 2012. This makes it a 3.5 year time period, hence the offer is worth 3.6% per annum on an annualised basis. Your bargaining team needs to know what you think of the salary offer so please leave a comment.
