Your Independent Voice Candidate- Graham Warren


My name is Graham Warren, I am currently an industrial relations inspector working at Safework SA and am a member of the PSA. I have been an active trade unionist and official for over 20 years.

My colleagues and I seek your support to have an independent voice and restore the balance on the PSA Branch Council. Our union has seen a dramatic decrease in union membership while the numbers of public servants has sharply risen. The PSA has failed to build an active, organised union that delivers for our members.

This lack of organisation has been reflected in the last round of public sector enterprise bargaining, seeing nurses, fire fighters, ambulance and police achieving significantly greater outcomes than PSA members.

PSA Independent voice believe that as we face the Federal Government’s Workchoices legislation and are all heading into insecure times, our union needs to develop itself in such a way that is inclusive of its members.

We will commit more resources in the workplace, strengthen the link between members, enable greater participation and ensure our issues are being listened to and acted upon.

The McMahon Team will have all but 4 positions on council unless you vote for an independent voice to restore the balance to council and that independent voice is my self and my colleagues’.

Please vote Graham Warren and my colleagues James McComb, Marie Boland and John Kirkham for an independent voice on the PSA Branch Council.
