The ballot will ask the 18 000 CEPU members at Australia Post to give the green light to a range of actions, in a effort to secure key conditions in the EBA7 (Enterprise Bargaining Agreement), which protects security, safety and pay. The CEPU members’ demands for EBA 7 are the following:



· Measures to help protect full-time jobs

· A strong dispute resolution clause

· Maintaining workers’ shift penalties, and take home pay

· An end to the use of company paid doctors who are forcing employees back to work even when they are still sick or injured



The CEPU has been trying for the past 18 months to get these conditions back through talks with the company, but Australia Post has refused to listen.



The hearing following the lodging of the application will be taking place today, 13 August, and is expected to last a few days before Fair Work Australia makes a decision on the application.
