Darebin City Council: change to proposed operating model

On July 16, 2024 Darebin City Council wrote formally to the ASU advising of a proposed change regarding the above.

On July 17, 2024 ASU organiser and delegates attended a regular monthly delegate/P&C catch and raised concerns about the lack of information that had been provided regarding the proposed change and believed that council was in breach of Clause 26 Consultation in the Darebin City Council Enterprise Agreement 2022 – 2025. 

Later that day we wrote to council to formally outline our concerns. 

On July 23, 2024 we again wrote to council to advise the matter is in formal dispute as per Clause 27 Dispute Prevention and Settlement Procedure in the Darebin City Council Enterprise Agreement 2022 – 2025. 

What this means is that the proposed change is on hold until such time the ASU removes the dispute, the dispute is resolved, or all the steps in the dispute clause have been followed which includes going to the Fair Work Commission if needed.

On July, 24, 2024 council responded and provided some information however we will need to review it and make sure all the information requested has been provided.
