Natural disaster leave – a necessary provision during an era of climate change

25 October, 2023

As we begin what will likely be a very hot summer season, IEU members should check whether they have access to natural disaster leave provisions in their collective agreement to be prepared for extreme weather events.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has declared that an El Nino event is underway in Australia, which means the country will likely be warmer than average with potentially reduced rainfall.

IEU-QNT Industrial Officer Nick Sahlqvist said where a natural disaster or emergency occurs, our union is with members every step of the way.
