You and your colleagues have sent a powerful message in support of progressing CA22 towards commencement.

During the (long) voting period, a significant total vote was obtained, with 2065 of the 2882 eligible voters casting their ballot.

And I am pleased to report that 99% of you voted YES to support your terms and conditions of employment including the provisions of CA22.

Summary:
TOTAL EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE TO VOTE:
2882

TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES CAST:

I thank all members who took the time to vote for the adoption of CA22.

QFES have advised they expect to make application to the QIRC for a hearing within a week, and I will keep you updated on the process as CA22 edges closer to commencement.
