Olympic Dam Enterprise Agreement

The agreement does not provide for specific workplace rights or roles at the Australian Workers Union, which was one of many bargaining negotiators, which are not required by the Fair Work Act. BHP Billitones Olympic Dam Operations in South Australia approved its first Fair Work Australia operating agreement under the Fair Labour Act. This was a preliminary decision that allowed BHP to decide for seven days whether or not it made further oral submissions on enterprise agreements to the Fair Work Commission. Whether it`s applying the best overall test or negotiating directly with workers, the fair work act (Cth) encourages many employers to think carefully about their bargaining strategy and approach. Savvy HR takes an «interest-based approach» to the agreement to ensure that all parties involved are involved in the business negotiation process. Our style is constructive, fair and participatory. The Fair Work Commission this week upheld a complaint against the approval of enterprise agreements regarding Operations Services personnel due to concerns that workers did not really agree to. «BHP has made fun of our trading system for companies. No coal miner covered by these agreements has had the chance to have a say in the terms of their employment,» he said. CFMEU Mines and General Energy President Tony Maher said that the approval of the agreements by the Commission showed that labour laws against workers were stacked.

«It is shameful that mining giants like BHP are simply able to bypass existing union bargaining agreements and introduce new non-union agreements to reduce wages and conditions,» he said. Key benefits of the agreement for workers include an increase in the super-increase from 11.5% to 13% and a 25% increase in annual rolling allowances. Tony Maher, president of CfMEU, said BHP`s strategy with Operations Services was to reduce wages and conditions by outsourcing a large portion of its coal staff to its subsidiaries at 100% under the two below-average agreements. Our mission was to reach an agreement which was supported by the majority of workers and which could be approved by the Commission.
