Update 30: Suspension of all Protected Industrial Action effective immediately

Essential Energy and the Combined Unions met today to continue bargaining for the 2024 Enterprise Agreement. The meeting was both constructive and positive, reaching in principle agreement on a number of key matters.

Due to the constructive nature and in a sign of good faith of today’s meeting, the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) have agreed to suspend all protected industrial action, effective immediately and have notified their members accordingly.

While there remains outstanding items that need to be resolved, reaching an in-principle agreement on some of the key claims is a positive step towards finalising an agreement for all Essential Energy employees.

We will continue to keep you updated.
