The CEA was back dated to 1 July for a 3-year term with a general increase of 6.5%, 5% and 4% for the third year.
Some were worried about gambling with a third year, but the increase is above the forecasted CPI.
We also tidied up a few things like reversing some the cutbacks on guaranteed hours of pay because of COVID.
Six P32 are going back to P40 and four P24 going to P32, and P24 are now joining the P40 and P32 in rostered weekend off.
We also got overtime pay for controllers, night rate payments for security and an additional pay increase for container repairers in the empty depot.
There is always something we miss out on that does not quite sit right with me and we will not get chance to revisit it for another three years.
