@aj Not now but previously long term #CPSU.
It was a good union, listened to members and achieved some good outcomes during that time. But was extra fortunate in that Greg Combet was personally involved and available to talk to us at that time.
Organising workers in today's economy

Today we go to the Ecosocialist Conference held in Melbourne on the 6-7th of September at Balam Balam Place. We will hear from Jizelle Hanna, a former presenter on Stick Together presenter, who is now the Victorian Secretary of the CPSU, a feat which came about in a members lead win against an encumbent of 30 years standing. The session Jizelle is part of is called Organising workers in today's economy.

Aldi Sacks HSR / NTEU & CPSU Members Voice Victories

Two Union Worker victories and the beginning of what is shaping up to be a Union wide stoush over the sacking of an HSR at an Aldi store for doing her job. The two victories are the win by the NTEU National Tertiary Education Union in the Federal Court for Monash University to pay back pay to it's teaching staff and the historic win of the CPSU Members Voice by a landslide which pushed out an executive that had held on for 32 years.
