What are we voting on?
There are two choices for the type of EA you can vote for
- A single employer EA. This is like our current one, negotiated between Greater Dandenong City Council and its employees and their representatives
- A multi-employer EA. This is a new type of agreement, that creates one agreement covering City of Greater Dandenong and up to 10 other councils and employees.
This ballot is only to decide which type of agreement we should bargain for.
Voting starts on Thursday 13 March and closes on Thursday 27 March
You will receive information from today about how to cast your vote.
The information will come by email and/or SMS from GoVote Voting Services – an independent organisation that will conduct the ballot at arms-length from CGD and the unions.
When the ballot opens on Thursday 13 March, GoVote Voting Services will send you a link to cast your vote along with a unique PIN that can only be used to vote once.
What email or phone should I check?
Ballot information will be sent to your CGD email account.
If you do not have or use a CGD email account, the information will be sent to the personal email address you provided to council as a contact.
SMS messages will go to those who don’t have an email.
Those who receive information by both email and SMS can still only vote once using your unique PIN.
Contact information has been provided to GoVote Voting Services so everyone has an opportunity to vote. The ballot is completely anonymous. Neither Council nor our unions will know how you vote.
