NSW Government positions Public Works for sell off!

NSW Government positions Public Works for sell off June 2015 (PDF version)

The PSA received a media release this morning outlining the Baird Government’s plan to sell off parts of Public Works.

According to the media release, if a service can be provided in the private market the competing Public Works Unit will be “…transferred, sold, or progressively discontinued”.

This is the latest extension to the NSW Government’s ruthless privatisation agenda.

As the PSA has not been briefed on the proposal, we have sought an immediate meeting with management for early next week. The PSA will schedule urgent members meetings following the meeting.

The PSA will continue to oppose privatisation and outsourcing in any shape or form and continue to strive to protect members’ rights and entitlements.

The PSA will keep members informed as details progress.
