Proud to be union.

Welcome to the website of CEPU Tasmanian Branch. The CEPU is the Union for Tasmanian Electricians, Communications, Power Industry and Plumbing trade areas.

With ongoing improvement, this site will be a valuable resource for our members as well as giving the community an insight into the operation of our Union.

As always the CEPU will represent our members in ensuring their rights at work are vigorously defended, and that workplace agreement negotiations are carried out in a professional manner - always with the intent to achieve the best possible outcome for CEPU members.

Superannuation Guarantee Contributions to Increase

The Federal Government's proposal to increase the rate of compulsory employer superannuation contributions from 9% to 12% is a step closer to becoming law.
The increases to employer contributions are contained in the Government's Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Amendment Bill 2011 (the Bill). However, the Government made the changes to superannuation dependent on the Minerals Resource Rent Tax Bills also being enacted by the Parliament. Read more.

Abolishing the ABCC is Labor policy

After six years we are on the verge of seeing the end of The ABCC. The Labor Government has acted on its commitment at the 2007 and 2010 elections to introduce legislation to abolish the Australian Building and Construction Commission. We are on the verge of seeing this $135 million waste of money end up on the scrapheap. But we need your help to make sure that the ABCC’s draconian coercive powers are buried with it. We need to tell Labor MPs to explain why the ABCC must go and why its coercive powers have no place in Australia. The ABCC is unworkable - help us change the law and abolish the ABCC by clicking here and sending your message to the Labor Party.
