Fair Pay for Parks Vic
Despite doing the same work as others in the public sector, workers at Parks Victoria are treated as second-class citizens.
Why is this important?
After a year of negotiating in good faith, union members at Parks Victoria are taking action. They have repeatedly asked to be treated the same as any other public sector workers - but management aren't listening.
They think that workers should be happy with the latest offer, which does nothing to address the reasonable requests of the workforce and would lock in insufficient wages and conditions for another generation of workers.
For too long, public sector workers at Parks Victoria have been underpaid and overworked.
For nearly 15 years, the hard working rangers, environmental scientists, and administrators of Parks Victoria have been held back by wages and conditions that are below other public sector workers. These are the people who manage the state’s extensive public lands, parks, and reserves, and ensure our natural environment is protected for generations of Victorians to enjoy.
Crucially, these workers are also expected to provide essential firefighting and emergency response capability, working as an integrated part with other agencies in times of crisis; often operating in the worst conditions in some of the most remote regions in Victoria.
These workers are the first responders in natural disasters, but last in line for public sector wages.
