📣 A win for members 📣

Members raised the issue of 6-day workers and lack of recognition for public holiday entitlements. We sought to have this recognition, with the ANMF SA taking this to the South Australian Employment Tribunal and including in members log of claims for the PSEA 2025.
As a result of this advocacy, we are proud to share a fantastic outcome with 6-day workers now being recognised as identical to 7-day workers and part time employees working variable shifts over 5 days when it comes to public holiday entitlements!
This is a significant and well-deserved win. It reflects the strength of our collective voice and our commitment for RESPECT for every member, no matter their work pattern.
Your employers have agreed that this will be included in the next enterprise agreement to replace the 2022 EA.
Thank you to members who spoke up, stood strong, and trusted us to advocate for you.
