Bankwest workers and supporters to rally
Tuesday, 07 April 2009

The FSU has called a lunch time rally for Wednesday 8 April to demonstrate public support for a better deal for Bankwest staff and protest against the loss of local jobs.

Bankwest staff and the WA public were told that there would not be jobs lost in WA due to the CBA takeover – only to find a few months later that hundreds of local jobs will be cut.

FSU members are calling for:

No forced retrenchments

Maximise the options for staff who want to stay by identifying the staff who want to go.

Better redeployment options

Guarantee staff won’t be worse off if they take a job with CBA.

Increased severance payments

To compensate staff who have made commitments because of the bank’s misleading statements.

Repair the relationship

Be honest and tell us about plans for any future changes

Fair workloads

Don’t exploit the staff who stay.


Encourage your colleagues, friends & family to come.

Show the bank you care about a fair process.

Ph: 1300 366 378 / www.fsunion.org.au / E: bankwestjobs@fsunion.org.au Authorised by Leon Carter, National Secretary

Media Release
Buswell’s budget-management credibility shattered again

Treasurer Troy Buswell’s budget-management credibility has been shattered again by revelations that he has allowed the cost of his review into the State’s industrial relations system to blow out by more than 60 per cent.
Documents obtained by UnionsWA under Freedom of Information (FOI) laws reveal that Mr Buswell failed to put a contract in place to manage the cost of the review, which was performed by Melbourne based lawyer Stephen Amendola.  Without a contract in place, the cost of the review blew out from the $500,000 verbally quoted by Mr Amendola to more than $850,000.
UnionsWA Secretary Simone McGurk said that Mr Buswell’s scant regard for taxpayers’ money would be deeply offensive to workers providing health, education, child protection and other essential public services, who Mr Buswell has savaged through his arbitrary 3 per cent budget cuts.
