Kick back with the summer issue of Red Tape.

This issue looks at the crisis our universities and the poorly planned strategy of job cuts to plaster over poor decision-making by management and government.

We talk to some of our delegates and members who help keep our universities running and look at a broken funding model that has left tertiary education in tatters.

We head to Junee to celebrate getting the local prison into public hands and manage to meet some new members entering the correctives workforce.

We talk to three champions of the state, and profile our newest life member.

Your union takes workplace mental health seriously. We go behind the scenes at our mental heath conference and go through the highlights from our array of hard-hitting presenters.

Red Tape looks at how a new national park affects members in Forestry Corporation and discusses how timber jobs and the environment can co-exist.

As usual, Red Tape has its crossword and a great mix of opinion pieces, news stories and reviews, including a book on how the union movement won workers the right to time off over Christmas.

The latest issue is in the post right now, or you can read it at this link.
