Over the last few months, CPSU members around Australia have been joining together to build a new agenda for change.
CPSU members, wherever they work, are at the forefront of Australia's
response to the significant challenges of the decade. These challenges include:
global warming
health reform
skills
education
workplace relations
indigenous disadvantage
telecommunications
infrastructure.
But do we have the right mix of skills, people, and support to make a real
difference?
What you can do
CPSU members around Australia have been building a new agenda for
change. This is the beginning of a long-term conversation with workers in our
industries about the things that really matter. While continuing to focus on the
"core business" of improving members' pay and conditions, we want to explore
options for tackling longer-term issues such as:
maintaining a skilled workforce in a tight labour market
managing the imminent baby-boomer exodus
protecting and promoting the value of the public sector
ensuring workers with caring responsibilities can balance their
work and life
closing the pay gaps between public and private sector and
between different agencies
