APS casuals deserve the same rights to secure employment.

Time for the Govt to fix the bill to close this loophole.

Thanks David Pocock for the support

'For our members in Services Australia, this haphazard, box ticking, KPI driven, toxic churn, is their everyday working environment.

It is beyond being in crisis, and it is no longer at breaking point. It is broken.'

Great quotes by CPSU National Secretary Melissa Donnelly in Guardian Australia

Personally, I’m so proud of the members in Services Australia who fought for their clients against #robodebt .

And Mel is 100% correct - they deserved better then & they deserve better now, Bill Shorten!

Our members in Services Aus have long deserved an apology for the way they were treated and the work they were forced to do within the Robodebt scheme.

They also deserve one from the architects of the scheme – Kathryn Campbell and former Govt Ministers.

Privatising Employment Services was the brain child of John Howard with the assistance of a Patrick McClure (then Mission Australia CEO). Mission then started ‘Mission Employment’. The whole system was designed around the market. A disaster.

So god damn proud of our union. Melissa Donnelly speaking the truth that needs to be heard. The public sector is the lynchpin of the social democratic welfare state, and it’s about time we rebuilt it. Starting with #BringBacktheCES .

Privatised employment services do not work.

CPSU has been campaigning hard to bring back to the CES, and we’re making a strong case at the ALP Conference.

The Fed Govt. has consistently touted its commitment to becoming a model employer.

But the rejection of proposals that are directly linked to diversity fairly heavily undermine that. Melissa Donnelly Michael Tull
