Most PSA members will soon receive a 3.5% per annum salary increase.

The 2006 Parity (Salaried) Enterprise Agreement provides for this increase to operate from the first pay period on or after 1 October 2007.

Members should take this opportunity to remind non-members of the value of joining the PSA (as such increases are not automatic, but result from significant effort and resources by the PSA).

This is in addition to last year's increases and improvements to paid maternity and adoption leave.

Numerous other members not covered by the Parity Agreement will also receive a similar outcome as their specific Enterprise Agreements take into account the Parity outcomes.

Savings and Loans Directors' elections will occur shortly.

In view of the impact of policy decisions made by the SLCU Board and their impact upon PSA members, PSA Executive has determined to support a team of candidates.

The PSA encourages those members eligible to do so to support candidates Amanda Heyworth and Jim Birch.
