The Public Service Association (PSA) thanks all members who attended the lunch time meeting outside Wakefield House on Tuesday 15 June 2010.

The PSA attended the Shared Services Consultative Meeting the same afternoon and provided management with an update of the ballot results and a summary of the comments members provided to assist with assessing the overall situation.

The PSA again discussed the need to commence some dialogue with the department in an aim to progress and resolve the workload issues. Management response was that they had explained to us what they had done and could do nothing more. The PSA expressed concern with their response and stated we should be meeting to discuss a way forward.

The PSA raised the issue of our members being allocated additional work whilst they had workload issues, management however thought this was appropriate. The PSA reconfirmed our members position in relation to their motion which was put in place to  assist member's workload issues as management had failed to do so.

The PSA have been provided with a copy of Damian Bourke's email to all staff. The PSA are disappointed with his statement that the PSA have after repeated requests failed to provide specific workload issues.

It has been the PSA that has placed workload issues on the agenda of the Consultative Meeting and the PSA that have sought discussions to work toward resolving issues and have placed as an agenda item at the Consultative Meetings.

The PSA at 4:51 pm Tuesday 22 June 2010 received NOTIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE TO INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COMMISSION OF SA PAYROLL STAFF, SHARED SERVICES SA. We await a time and date to be fixed by the IRC and will provide  this information to members. Our Councilor and Work site Representative will attend the hearing with our industrial officer.

PSA MEMBERS WHO STAND TOGETHER,
WIN TOGETHER!
