State election campaign review
April 2023: During the state election campaign, the PSA campaigned around several issues including the following: The restoration of the NSW Industrial Relations Commission (IRC); The scrapping of the wages cap and the “efficiency dividend”; A commitment to job security with no forced redundancies; An end to the inappropriate use of casuals, temporary staff, labour hire and consultants; The repeal of the Government Sector Employment (GSE) Act, replacing it with modern legislation in consultation with public sector unions.
Also the PSA pushed for both major parties to convert thousands of temporary staff in schools into ongoing permanent positions.
