We have received advice that Ron Hunter, your longstanding PSA/CPSU NSW Organiser, passed away on Tuesday night.

Ron had been employed by the PSA since 2003 as an Organiser in the Newcastle region and had been a member and delegate for many years.

He was dedicated to the rights of workers, particularly those of you at the University.

Ron was a passionate believer in not only the values and work of the PSA/CPSU NSW but the trade union movement as a whole.

Many of you will have experienced his support over the years.

He was unfailingly kind and considerate of the needs of others but quite prepared to take on a fight when necessary and indulge in robust discussion with management where required.

He will be sadly missed by his family, friends, colleagues and members of the PSA/CPSU NSW.

We will circulate the funeral details to you when they come to hand.
