Sustained pressure from the Staff Association has resulted in a reduction of proposed job cuts in CSIRO’s Manufacturing and Minerals business units.
Management at both Manufacturing and Minerals have revised down last year’s estimates of proposed redundancies by up to 50 pe in each case.
The Staff Association lodged a dispute with CSIRO last November to challenge the conduct of the redundancy process and to ensure the organisation complied with legal obligations as outlined in the Enterprise Agreement (EA).
