Statement – enterprise bargaining negotiations

Published on 17 December 2024

Glenelg Shire Council is currently involved in enterprise bargaining negotiations.

Council’s management is aware of limited protected industrial action being taken by some staff and acknowledges the legal right of union members to take such action during the negotiation process.

Importantly, contingency plans are in place to support continuity of Council services, and to minimise any disruption to services that may occur as part of the action.

In the meantime, Council continues to negotiate in good faith with the union and all involved in the enterprise bargaining process, having put forward a package which it believes is affordable and balances the best interests of staff and ratepayers in the current financial environment.
