PSA News – 1 March 2016 Members in Corrective Services

To all PSA members in Corrective Services

Late yesterday afternoon rumours started to circulate throughout CSNSW of a major announcement  to be made on Tuesday 1 March 2016.

As we understand following the rumours, it is alleged to have considerable impact to CSNSW.

Members may recall that during last year, the Department announced that they would commence a process called benchmarking.

At that time this process was completely unknown to us.

In the last quarter of 2015, Corrective Services were still unable to provide any detail as to what benchmarking will contain.

In December, the Department finally informed the PSA that any announcement of the details of benchmarking would be delayed until early 2016.

The rumours currently circulating throughout CSNSW of a major announcement with potential negative outcomes for members can only refer to a meeting that is scheduled for late this afternoon where the Department will finally provide the union with some details pertaining to benchmarking.

All groups will be represented at today’s meeting.

When we are in receipt of this information we will prepare a summary of events for distribution to delegates and members.
