For nearly 18 months, the PSA and your delegates group have worked hard to convince NSW Police to produce a Role Description for NSW Police Special Constables which recognises the true level of responsibility of the job. We viewed this as an important first step to achieve wage justice for our members.
We have notified an industrial dispute to the Industrial Relations Commission (IRC), but Police have refused to conciliate. On 13 August 2019, the PSA threatened industrial action which was subsequently suspended to allow further discussions with Government. As a result, we received significant media coverage and public support. But neither a meeting with the Minister of Police, nor discussions with NSW Police have resulted in any progress toward resolving the dispute.
Your union is not prepared to accept further stonewalling by Police and Government. We demand Special Constables receive the recognition and pay they deserve.
PSA endorses stop work meetings
The PSA directs all members to attend on-site stop work meetings between 11am and 12noon on Thursday, 24 October 2019 to discuss the next steps in our campaign for recognition and fair pay for Special Constables.
