Ambulance Victoria left a worker waiting for months to secure a basic entitlement under the AVMA Agreement.
UWU raised serious concerns with Ambulance Victoria after a member’s request to convert to permanent employment was left unresolved for months.
The employee had worked as a casual for three years and submitted their conversion request, but AV failed to meet its obligations under clause 27.2 of the AVMA Agreement, which requires a written response within 21 days.
Instead, it took months of union advocacy to get AV to do what it should have done in the first place – finalise the employee’s casual conversion.
AV should not need months of union pressure to deliver an entitlement clearly set out in its own Agreement.
This is why being a union member matters. When AV fails to meet its obligations, UWU is there to challenge the employer, keep the pressure on and get results for workers.
