Local Government Award 2010
The final wage increases under the Local Government (State) Award 2007 were paid in November last year and the USU is now campaigning to secure wage increases and conditions of employment for the 2010 Award.

Past campaigns have brought improvements in salary systems, penalty rates, paid maternity leave, hours of work and many other conditions together with a steady history of decent wage increases. Find out how you can get on board for your new award.

There are many additional Awards and Agreements in place for members of the USU, both in Local Government and the Energy Industry. Members should ring the Union on 1300 136 604or email our Support Team at united@usu.org.au

Clerical and Admin Members

Our members work in financial institutions, call centres, airports, legal companies, road transport companies & small business. Members are covered by a range of State and Federal Awards and Agreements. Many of these Awards are based on the National Clerks Private Sector Award 2010. or the National Contract Call Centres Award 2010.

This is a list of some of those Awards and Agreements, which may be amalgamated through the new Federal IR system. If you have an inquiry about any of these Awards and Agreements or about others not included here please email our Support Team at united@usu.org.au or call them on 1300 136 604.
