Thank you to all members who continue to call your union to make sure we advocate on your behalf to achieve better work conditions for yourselves!

Since we raised your concerns with management about the conditions at Blacktown Court House (leaking roofs, mould smell) there is approval to replace the building’s entire roof. These works will commence this financial year.

The Registrar has been advised to ensure Blacktown staff are aware the roof will be replaced.  Following this, there will be solar panels installed, and interior ceiling/carpet tiles damaged by water replaced.

Members’ meeting

Your PSA Organiser, Alex Sala, be visiting the site for a meeting with members on Tuesday 29 March at 1:00pm. A reminder will be sent closer to this date. Membership forms will be available for any non-members interested in joining.

Thank you for supporting the union that works for you!

Wage increase

The PSA has written to the Premier of NSW to lodge a claim for a wage increase of at least 3.6 per cent.

This claim is above the NSW Government’s Public Sector Wages Cap of 2.5 per cent. In light of current inflation, this restrictive wage cap means the NSW Government is once again expecting Public Servants to accept real wage cuts. The NSW Government currently remains wedded to this restrictive wage cap, even though experts such as the Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe warning for several years that public sector pay caps are entrenching low wage growth. Mr Lowe has previously stated he wanted a “return to wage growth starting with a 3”. The PSA will be campaigning over the coming months for the Government to abandon this counterproductive, and unfair, wages cap.
