Negotiations for an enterprise agreement
In August 2018, the Man With A Van management team was approached by a group of employees who requested that the company enter into negotiations for an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA), with the Transport Workers Union (TWU) representing staff. The proposed EBA would replace the previous workplace agreement for movers at MWAV, the Road Transport and Distribution Award 2010.
In October 2018, following an application by the TWU, the Fair Work Commission handed down a majority support determination, ruling that a majority of MWAV staff want to bargain for an EBA.
MWAV remains committed to ensuring all staff are treated equitably and according to law, and we're looking forward to ongoing and open communication to secure the best outcome for our terrific team.
