Our members demonstrated on Thursday 29th November just how deeply they feel about the investigation that has taken place on the culture of harassment and bullying at Council.

Our members made it quite clear to Council that the agreement reached at the commencement of the independent investigation must be adhered to by Council.

Our members made it clear that Council must adhere to agreements made with the Union and its members, and will not accept Council back flipping.

Please see the Motion passed at the Union Meeting.

We the members of the USU have conducted a meeting to discuss the report known as the “Pendlebury Report” and as a result of the union’s report back, we make the following motion:
