The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) has succeeded in ensuring that public servants employed by the Department of Family and Community Services continue to receive a 15.4 per cent employer superannuation contribution no matter which fund they decide to join.
The union said it had extracted agreement from the department that “no matter what fund new employees choose they will still receive a 15.4 per cent superannuation contribution.”
It claimed that the outcome, combined with pay rises totalling 12 per cent over three years reflected the benefits of public servants maintaining union membership.
