Workers at bionic earmaker Cochlear yesterday voted 185 to 120 have the AMWU represent them in enterprise bargaining negotiations.
However Cochlear CEO Dr Chris Roberts still believes that a majority of workers do not wish to be represented by
by the AMWU.
“If the majority of employees want to bargain, then we need to bargain, the question is with whom you wish to bargain”.
Well Dr Roberts the majority of workers have decided who they wish to be represented by – the AMWU!!!.
AMWU National Secretary Dave Oliver said he was puzzled by Dr Roberts interpretation of the vote and that the company should “pay attention to their legal obligations”.
Dave Oliver said that it was the sixth time in 3 years a majority of workers had voted to have a collective agreement involving the AMWU.
