Neighbours crew reaches settlement with FremantleMedia

Ramsay Street peace is restored as crew and producers reach agreement on pay and conditions.

2014-06-27_1914A union dispute between Neighbours crew and producers FremantleMedia on pay and conditions has been settled.

The disagreement, which led to industrial action last month, arose as a result of stalled negotiations between the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance and FremantleMedia for an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA).

“We’re very happy that after reaching a stalemate with the MEAA we’ve been able to negotiate with the independent representatives for the successful introduction of the Neighbours EBA. It is a ground-breaking agreement for television. We can now all look forward to working together under the new agreement on our much-loved and enduring program,” a FremantleMedia Australia spokesperson said.

A 15 minute stop-work meeting last month was the Neighbours crew’s first industrial action in 25 years.
