Our log of claims was formally lodged last week. We were scheduled to meet employer representatives this week but the meeting was deferred by the Company until next Wednesday 8th October.  We expect to provide members with Dorevitch’s response in next week’s Stat Report. Members can keep up to date with the progress in the negotiations by visiting www.msav.org.au and going to Dorevitch EBA 2008 under our Campaigns heading. It is of critical importance all scientists get behind the MSAV in what are going to be very difficult negotiations. If the Union is going to be successful in maintaining wages and conditions all scientists will need to join the Union and be strong, determined and united.

If you are not in the Union yet you can download an application form from our website and join today. It’s easy!
