This year’s USU Picnic Day Event will be held on
2 December 2022 at Wyong Pool 10AM – 4PM
Ithome Street, Wyong
Union Picnic Day is a Council holiday which your union, the United Services Union has negotiated as part of your Award, for Union members only!
The Central Coast Council’s USU Picnic day, held in December each year, is a great opportunity for all members to spend time with each other and their families in a casual, fun environment.Union Picnic Day is a holiday under the State Award, so if you are a USU member and have to work that day you are entitled to be paid at public holiday rates.
Being paid at public holiday rates is an acknowledgment that attending the USU picnic makes for a great day, and it is a real shame to have to miss out on being part of it.
If you are asked to work on Union Picnic Day (2nd December 2022) and you accept to work, your entitlement under the Award is as follows:
USU members should not accept any conditions that are offered by Council that are less than the Award provisions.
Remember, Union Picnic Day is for Union members only that means any non-financial members of the Union are required to utilise their own leave entitlements on 2ND December 2022.
If any USU members are unsure of your rightful Union Picnic Day entitlements, please contact your local Central Coast USU Workplace Delegates or USU Organiser Luke Hutchinson – 0419 761 323 or lhutchinson@usu.org.au
