A CSIRO spokesman said the executive had offered a fair and responsible package, with
a lot of positives to staff, reaching a consensus on a number of issues.

"However the union continues to argue their remaining original claims including higher
pay," the spokesman said.

"We recognise that legislation provides for such a course of action, however the approach
by the unions to focus and direct resources into industrial disputation will not, in our
view, assist in the timely finalisation of a new enterprise agreement."
