2024
Term 2: Right across the state, members will be invited to attend and participate in special EB11 branch meetings. These meetings (check https://www.qtu.asn.au/branch-meetings for the dates) will focus on discussing the wins achieved in the current certified agreement and propose new items for consideration in the next log of claims. Any member can attend a branch meeting to discuss ideas and propose a formal motion that the branch can consider supporting. The motion would then need to be seconded, after which branch members vote in favour or against.
14 June: The deadline for submitting branch motions to the QTU. After this date, no further motions can be accepted. In EB11, the QTU will again use an interest-based bargaining approach, so after these motions have been received, the QTU Industrial Advocate and QTU senior officers will group them into common interest areas.
8 July: A draft log of claims will be considered by the elected members of the QTU Executive at its first meeting of Term 3.
10 August: Once the interest areas have been finalised, delegates at State Council will endorse the interest areas and the final log of claims and supporting materials will be developed.
August to December: Members will be kept informed of the progress of the development of the log of claims as the year progresses.
