Honouring our Past, Building our Future was this year’s PSA CPSU NSW Annual Conference theme, and who better to display this than three of your very own taking out the major award. Your Delegates from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) were awarded PSA CPSU NSW Delegates of the year!

Vanessa Chan, Amanda-Lee James and Nicholas Leach shared the Delegate of the Year Award for their work on behalf of members who were working hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime.

Accepting the award, Ms Chan praised “our team” for uncovering a broken system that was contributing to burnout and staff resignations.

Ms James said she came from a conservative background, but was now “union all the way” after working with her fellow Delegates to end the culture of overwork.

ODPP employees are now covered by a new Award with better provisions for flex time and excessive workloads.

This campaign over lost hours proves the power of union. Know a non member? Get them to join their union.
