PUBLIC SECTOR BILL 2008 - SHARED SERVICES

The PSA and SPSF (SA Branch) Councils met on Monday January 21 and received reports on meetings of Worksite Representatives regarding the Public Sector Bill 2008 and Shared Services.

The reports advised that city and regional meetings of about 150 Worksite Representatives earlier in the day (January 21) had passed the following resolutions:

Public Sector Bill 2008

“That this meeting of PSA Worksite Representatives recommends to Council that negotiations with Government be on the basis of maintaining job security, no loss of current entitlements, independent Appeals processes and with a Public Sector wide approach to issues, whilst maintaining public sector workforce numbers so that the public sector is genuinely an employer of choice.”

Shared Services

That this meeting of PSA Worksite Representatives:

  • supports the principle that no member should be disadvantaged in any way as a result of the transition to Shared Services, and

  • supports a membership campaign should Government proceed with the introduction in a manner which disadvantages members.

Accordingly, the following resolution was passed by Council:

" That Council notes the recommendations of Worksite Representatives meetings in Adelaide and by Regional Phone Link today, endorses their recommendations and resolves:

That negotiations with Government in respect to the Public Sector Bill 2008 be on the basis of maintaining job security, no loss of current entitlements, independent Appeals processes and with a Public Sector wide approach to issues, whilst maintaining public sector workforce numbers so that the public sector is genuinely an employer of choice, and

That Council supports the principle that no member should be disadvantaged in any way as a result of the transition to Shared Services, and supports a membership campaign should Government proceed with the introduction in a manner which disadvantages members. "

Further information will be made available to members on the above major issues.
