The FSU is deeply concerned by these latest cuts at Westpac, which seem to fly in the face of Westpac's assurances that its Catalyst initiative would not be a job-cutting exercise. When will Westpac begin to invest in their employees?

First negotiated in the 2022 NAB Agreement, You Leave is an additional week's paid leave each year intended to help manage staff wellbeing and work-life balance.

The problem was, many employees couldn't access it because of extremely strict eligibility requirements.

At a roundtable with NSW Minister for Industrial Relations and Work Health and Safety Sophie Cotsis MP, FSU National Secretary Julia Angrisano called for proposed Workplace Protection Orders to be extended to frontline finance workers.

As it stands, the laws would only cover retail workers, leaving bank branch staff without the same protections. The FSU is calling for finance workers to be included.

CBUS Super introduced universal PPL through its 2021 Enterprise Agreement, removing the distinction between primary and secondary carers and providing parents with equal access to PPL. The change was designed to recognise changing care arrangements and support a more equal sharing of care. CBUS also saw the policy as an opportunity to lead by example and was deliberate about supporting the change across the organisation.

We're calling on all finance employers to commit to a simple principle: both parents get the same paid leave, at the same rate, with no "primary carer" hoops. That means equal weeks, full pay for both parents, no primary carer test, and super paid throughout.

Unpaid overtime is becoming the new normal for too many Australian workers. Finance workers know the pressure all too well, with 77% saying their workplace relies on unpaid overtime.

Working for free shouldn’t be the price of keeping your job. Support the Unions NSW campaign to give workers their time back. ✊

Finance workers deserve the same protection from workplace violence and aggression as other frontline workers.

FSU National Secretary Julia Angrisano (left) and FSU Research & Policy Officer Manager Angela Budai (right) raised this issue directly with NSW Minister for Industrial Relations and Work Health and Safety Sophie Cotsis MP (centre) at a recent roundtable.

Proposed Workplace Protection Orders (WPOs) would give employers another tool to protect workers from abusive or threatening behaviour, including allowing police to take action when an order is breached.

But as currently proposed, WPOs would only apply to retail settings, leaving frontline finance workers, including bank branch staff, out. The FSU is calling for WPOs to be extended to finance workers.

The FSU welcomes new laws in California that put important protections around the use of AI in the workplace, including limits on AI-driven decisions about workers, workplace surveillance and the collection of sensitive data.

As AI rapidly changes the finance sector, Australian workers need a say in how these technologies are introduced too.

Workers deserve transparency, accountability and a voice when AI is used at work.

Incompetent chatbots are making mistakes and angering customers, bank workers have complained, as Australia’s financial regulator warned it may not be able to keep pace with sophisticated AI scams.

The union has told the inquiry that CommBank replaced 45 workers with a chatbot that “was so ineffective and caused so many problems that the bank had to redeploy team leaders onto the phone to manage the increased workload’’.

Calling for consultation with staff before introducing AI in banks, the union said the lack of worker involvement was “leading to injuries, ranging from increased stress levels to increased customer abuse when the AI does not work, to workers losing their jobs, to AI chatbots that are unable to perform the simplest of tasks accurately’’.
