Gold Coast City Council workers will meet today to decide if they will accept a revised enterprise bargaining offer.
Workers were initially seeking a 4.5 per cent pay rise and the Industrial Relations Commission recommended 4 per cent.
The council has proposed a compromise offer of a 3.85 per cent increase in the first year and 3.9 per cent in the second and third years.
The Australian Services Union’s spokesman, David Perry, says council staff will decide today whether the latest offer should be included in the enterprise agreement.
“Obviously council’s latest offer is not quite what the members were seeking,” he said.
“We believe that we’re obligated now to allow them to tell us whether they are prepared to accept that offer before they take any further industrial action.
“But if the ballot or the vote goes against going to ballot then there’ll be further industrial action talked about.”
