As well as fighting to protect and improve your jobs, pay and workplace rights, CPSU members can often be found making a difference in the broader NT community. Whether it’s showing solidarity for military veterans or collecting food and toys for folks doing it tough, CPSU member are happy to lend a hand where we can. Below are some recent examples. If you’d like to get involved, please contact Elli Morris or Dawn McQuilkin
