COVER STORY<br />
POLICE<br />
EBA<br />
2011<br />
It is clear the government<br />
wants to keep up the<br />
circus act and continue<br />
to play with police pay<br />
and livelihoods.<br />
We know it’s time the circus moves on and for<br />
Baillieu to deliver what he promised – a fair<br />
and reasonable EB outcome – but obviously he<br />
needs some encouragement. This is why we are<br />
set to commence our Protected Industrial Action<br />
for a better pay deal for all our members.<br />
getting set for protected<br />
Industrial<br />
aCtion<br />
Q&A<br />
Will these actions impact on<br />
service delivery?<br />
<strong>The</strong>se industrial action<br />
measures are designed, as<br />
much as possible, to impact<br />
on government and Command<br />
and not on the community we<br />
proudly serve. We do not want<br />
to impact on the health, welfare<br />
or safety of the community<br />
under any circumstances.<br />
For how long will the<br />
protected industrial<br />
action go?<br />
We need to be prepared to take<br />
these protected actions for as<br />
long as it takes to achieve a fair<br />
and reasonable outcome. Once<br />
they commence they should<br />
continue until you receive advice<br />
from the <strong>Association</strong>.<br />
Will you keep me updated<br />
during this period?<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Association</strong> will<br />
keep members updated on<br />
the progress of negotiations<br />
as regularly as possible while<br />
members are taking protected<br />
industrial action. While these<br />
actions are being implemented,<br />
members should check our<br />
website www.tpav.org.au –<br />
daily for updates.<br />
What should we do if we feel<br />
targeted or pressured not to<br />
take part in these actions?<br />
If you feel pressured during<br />
this period by another person<br />
in the workplace because<br />
you are implementing these<br />
industrial actions, please seek<br />
immediate assistance from your<br />
<strong>Association</strong> delegate.<br />
To be successful, we will all need<br />
to be prepared to support each<br />
other, including anyone made<br />
to feel pressured because they<br />
are taking action. It’s up to all<br />
of us to stick together. If any<br />
individual is being targeted,<br />
we are all being targeted!<br />
What will happen if my<br />
pay is threatened to be<br />
docked for taking protected<br />
industrial action?<br />
You cannot be docked for taking<br />
protected industrial action as<br />
