Priceline Agreement
Go Back- 22nd November 2017
A new Priceline Agreement has been voted up by a majority of employees and approved by the Fair Work Commission, securing improved pay and conditions for workers.
Following negotiations between the Company, all Priceline employees were given the opportunity to vote on whether or not to accept the agreement.
The result was 99% in favour of the new agreement.
The new Priceline Agreement has now been approved in the Fair Work Commission and will take effect from 9 November 2017 and operate until 30 June 2018.
Finalising a new Priceline Agreement is an important part of securing better wages and protecting fair working conditions. It maintains your existing conditions and entitlements but also incorporates new benefits for Priceline employees.
