Your union, the PSA, conducted a meeting at the Police Band premises on Wednesday, 15 April 2015. The purpose of the meeting was to seek your input regarding the negotiation of the Police Band Award. Attendees were briefed on the process of the negotiations and the consultation with members. Thank you to all who attended.
In addition to your PSA delegates, Gareth Lewis and Adam Malone, PSA members Adrian Hallam and Glenn Henrich, with Craig Mitten as an alternate, have nominated for the bargaining team.
