MEAA wins right to negotiate a collective agreement on behalf of AFL Media journalists
The union body representing journalists has won the right to negotiate a collective agreement on behalf of journalists employed by the AFL Media after the Fair Work Commission ruled that a majority of employees were in favour of collection negotiations to set their working conditions.
The win follows the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) working closely with members employed by the AFL Media to secure the outcome.
On the win MEAA federal secretary Christopher Warren said: “This is the first time a group of workers in an in-house digital news production business have gained the right to collectively negotiate terms and employment conditions on matters affecting their working lives.
