The leadership of your union thinks research is the answer to proposed job cuts – Independent Voice believes ACTION is the ‘role’ of YOUR union. A vote for Independent Voice candidates is a vote for an active, inclusive, representative and independent PSA.
I previously worked for the CPSU and ACTU. I’m now an industrial relations inspector working at Safework SA and a long time public service unionist.
Recently Jan McMahon met the treasurer and proudly announced no job cuts from the new government, 24 hours later the treasurer announced that there would be job cuts. What Jan McMahon’s response? “We see our role as to go out there, do the research and engage academics around the country.’ (ABC 891 Mornings 7th April.”). The PSA needs less talk and more action.
Membership of our union has decreased dramatically whilst the number of public servants in South Australia has increased sharply. PSA Independent Voice will put more organisers on the ground to ensure leadership is aware of issues that are affecting you in your workplace. You will see organisers regularly not just before union election time.
In this election, the McMahon Team is guaranteed to hold 25 of the 29 positions on branch council. You’ve heard the old saying ‘power tends to corrupt, but absolute power corrupts absolutely’ this is not healthy for our union.
Restore the balance; support myself and my colleagues Marie Boland, John Kirkham and Graham Warren for an independent voice on Branch Council
