Fri 17 April Magistrates Court William St Peter Vining, a CEPU delegate was sacked late last year (2005) for allegedly telling off a costumer. Peter Vining, a CEPU delegate was sacked late last year (2005) for allegedly telling off a costumer. The CEPU have vigorously contested the verbal evidence used against Peter Vining. In fact they have stated that «Peter did not even talk to the woman. He even had witnesses to back him up. We are alleging that the management have colluded to ‘get rid of’ a strong and effective shop steward.» The campaign to reinstate Peter has had many twists and turns. Management tried to get a s 127s order against the union for taking illegal industrial action but were unsuccessful. The matter is now before the Federal Court as the union has charged Australia Post under s 298k of the Workplace Relations Act.
