We are pleased to announce First Union, the union representing over half the operational staff at St John, will be taking an offer of settlement to its members with a recommendation to accept this offer.
The new offer addresses issues raised by First Union after a previous offer, agreed with the other unions, was rejected by First Union. This includes additional increases in pay and improved leave provisions.
St John looks forward to building a more constructive working relationship with employee representatives. To support this new era, St John has established a Joint Consultative Forum with proportional representation from all unions to proactively focus on contemporary issues facing St John and its staff.
