Episode Details

In this episode of the PSA CPSU NSW podcast, hosts Troy Wright and Jason Mountney preview the Autumn edition of Red Tape magazine, focusing heavily on the union's recent advocacy and victories for public sector workers. The discussion highlights major ongoing campaigns, including the push to replace fragmented NGO domestic violence programs with a unified, government-run service, alongside demands for better mental health protections for civilian police and corrective workers exposed to severe frontline trauma. The hosts also celebrate several significant industrial wins, such as securing substantial overtime back pay for Service NSW employees, protecting the working conditions of disability services staff transferred to NGOs, and successfully lobbying the state government to trim the bloated Senior Executive Service by 15% to keep the focus on frontline staff.
