Linfox’s new Enterprise Agreement with the TWU provides annual wage rises, higher superannuation and a joint focus on safety and job security.
The three-year agreement with the Transport Workers Union (TWU) provides certainty for Linfox and drivers. It will also help secure future success for the business.
In a recent ceremony in Sydney, TWU officials and Linfox representatives signed the deal which Fair Work Australia had approved in May. Linfox has committed to increase superannuation annually in each of the three years and to make casual workers permanent after six months.
Linfox CEO Michael Byrne said that the agreement will deliver a secure retirement for employees and certainty in the short-term.
“We know our employees work hard, invest in our company through their commitment and this is one way the company can assist to see they enjoy a comfortable retirement,” he said.
The three-year agreement covers the vast majority of weekly paid Australian employees.
