Introduction of Major Change in the Workplace (Trades and Services CRCCM Enterprise Agreement 2005)

9. Introduction of Major Change in the Workplace

The University will notify affected staff and where a staff member chooses, the affected staff member's Representative(s), and the JCC, where a proposed significant and substantial change will affect staff. "Significant and substantial change" will include, but not be limited to, outsourcing or contracting out and changes to university employment policies that have a significant and substantial impact on staff terms and conditions of employment.

If a decision to proceed is made by the University, then management will consult with the affected staff and where the staff members choose, with their Representative(s), or where the staff members choose, with the JCC about the implementation of that change. The consultations will be conducted within a framework which acknowledges the statutory obligations and responsibilities of the University management and there will be no power of veto over the University's decision-making processes.
