MELBOURNE, Nov 1 Asia Pulse - Channel Seven's (ASX:SEV) management is attempting to avoid unions by taking a new pay deal directly to staff, according to unions representing the company's employees.

The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) and the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) today began a "just vote no" campaign, encouraging staff to reject management's enterprise agreement offer.

According to the unions, the Channel Seven proposals for a new agreement are "punitive and absurd", cutting leave provisions for staff and removing entitlements to overtime.

The national agreement is for about 900 staff, including journalists, camera operators, make-up artists, directors and administrative staff, across Seven's metropolitan and regional markets.

MEAA industrial officer Kathleen Hughes said negotiations with Channel Seven had begun about three months ago and while the union had asked for a 14 per cent payrise, the station had offered 2.6 per cent.
