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