Pledge to achieve real improvements to wages, workloads and work/life balance.

Many of us at the Westpac Group are finding it tougher and tougher each day.

In recent years Management have stopped listening to our concerns on wages, workloads, work/life balance and more – but if we don’t speak up nothing is going to change.

We need a new Enterprise Agreement that gives all Westpac Group employees access to real wage increases, and conditions that improve our quality of life.

We’re calling for Westpac to deliver on real 6% wage increases, measures to ensure reasonable workloads can be achieved in normal work hours, an end to the cuts, and investment in real jobs for the future.

We’ve delivered record profits. Now it’s time for our fair share.

Will you join with thousands of other union members and take the pledge to achieve real improvements in this EA?


Why it’s important we act now –

Cost of Living Crisis

Inflation is running at 5.1% and is expected to go higher before the end of 2022.

In a recent survey Westpac Group workers said our current remuneration is failing to keep up with cost-of-living increases. We are doing it tough.

Workload intensity increasing

When surveyed, Westpac Group workers reported a dramatic increase in workloads.

Employees across call centres, retail branches and back office areas are all saying we need to do more in the same amount of hours – or work excessive additional hours to get the job done.  With staffing ratios in many areas critically low, it is time for the Bank to act.  

Less and less security at work

Westpac have cut over a thousand jobs in the past 6 months and workers have reported feeling insecure about their future. Westpac Group employees should not be regarded as a resource to be sold off, outsourced and cut.

We have shown true commitment over the past two difficult years resulting in record profits. It is now time for Westpac to invest in our skills and ongoing employment over the next 2 years.
