Enterprise Agreement information

This information is provided to ensure you are able to make an informed decision on how you will vote. Please note, both the one-off $1,500 cost-of-living payment and back pay are contingent on a majority YES vote at the July ballot. In the event of a NO vote, neither will be offered again by Transgrid.
