FIRST STEP TOWARDS PROTECTED INDUSTRIAL ACTION
The Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA) has today lodged an application to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) for a protected action ballot, the first step towards potential industrial action.
AFPA President Alex Caruana said that the application for a protected action ballot was required before any industrial action could occur.
“This course of action is the only way forward due to the restrictiveness of the Government’s Public Sector Workplace Relations Policy 2023 and the non-APS bargaining parameters forming part of that policy.
“Our application has been lodged, and we’ll wait for the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to respond and the FWC to make their decision,” Mr Caruana said.
FIVE-YEAR TIMEFRAME FOR CITY STATION UPGRADE “TOO LONG”
The Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA) acknowledges the ACT Government’s plan to replace the City Police Station (including the possibility of a new ACT Policing headquarters being housed in the same building).
AFPA President Alex Caruana said that while he appreciated the Government’s commitment, immediate action was necessary.
“City Police Station is no longer fit for purpose. The building is falling down around the police officers and support staff who work there, and a new police station is required urgently. The risks to their safety and the public continue to be unacceptable.
