UNION THREATENS INDUSTRIAL ACTION
The United Services Union says it’ll be lodging a dispute with the Industrial Relations Commission tomorrow morning about comments made by Newcastle’s Lord Mayor Jeff McCloy regarding staff cuts.
A union spokesman claims Councillor McCloy has breached the Local Government Act by threatening the jobs of 1400 workers.
Council has previously said it would put a freeze on the employment of new staff to help stem a $3-million deficit.
