On Monday 14 May, the Department released its “Restructure Management Plan” for DFSI Corporate Affairs unit.
The only justification given by the Department for its restructure plan – which aims to cuts seven substantive Grade 9/10 and 7/8 roles – is to “meet the needs of a changing organisation” and “to respond to a changing communication landscape, to reduce costs and rebalance some aspects of the Corporate Affairs model”.
Your union intends to fight these job cuts however it can.
The two-week consultation period will end on Tuesday 29 May.
PSA industrial staff now wish to meet with affected members to hear your feedback and concerns on DFSI’s plan. A members’ meeting will be arranged and details distributed shortly.
We also invite affected members to send Matthew your written feedback, including any industrial or other concerns, this week. The PSA will collate your feedback – it will form part of our submission we will provide to Management and address with them, at a scheduled meeting at the end of the two-week consultation period.
Please direct your feedback, questions, comments or concerns on this proposed restructure plan to your delegate or PSA Industrial Officer Matthew Drake-Brockman .
