""We've told every major bank to get their own house in order, fix rejected work-from-home requests, comply with the law, and stop acting like flexibility is a privilege," FSU national assistant secretary Nicole McPherson on Thursday."
""This ruling makes clear that employers can't hide behind buzzwords like 'collaboration' or 'culture' to deny flexible work.""
""While the big banks cut thousands of jobs, offshore work and replace people with AI, they're still trying to force remaining staff back into offices under the guise of teamwork. It's hypocrisy at its worst.""
""Our members have proven they can deliver from home. Flexibility is not a perk, it's a legal right and we'll keep fighting to make sure every worker in finance can exercise it.""
A Westpac employee secured the right to continue working from a property more than two hours from the Sydney CBD after moving to Wilton in 2021. The Finance Sector Union says similar rejected work-from-home requests may exist across Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, NAB and Westpac and is threatening further legal action. The union demands banks review policies, fix rejected requests and comply with legal obligations. The union asserts employers cannot use 'collaboration' or 'culture' to deny flexibility, criticises job cuts, offshoring and AI replacements, and frames flexible work as a legal right rather than a perk.
