As for whether other unions can cash in on the PSA's agreement, Weatherhead notes, it was only a few years ago that the PSA did the same thing, and was able to secure an adjustment to previously-settled negotiations. Still, he says, that does not mean there is a precedent.

Weatherhead agrees however, that for those who are yet to settle for 2014 to 2019, there is a reasonable case to bargain at 10%.

00:00There's no operation as an industrial relations matter that allows that if there's a negotiation
00:11and one service gets more paid than the others, the rest would get some kind of automatic adjustment to that level.
00:20That occurred in the past.
00:25It occurred in a kind of sporadic way up to 2014.
00:30And the whole negotiation in the public service has become a negotiation almost for each service separately
00:39in the way it has been conducted in recent years.
00:45So there is, I don't think there's any precedent in that way.
00:54If the other associations and unions want to have the kind of adjustment that the PSA got
01:04in 2013-14, then they would have to make a demand and fight for it.
