We need you! Become a CPSU NSW Delegate

A key component of the Annual General meeting is the election of your UOW CPSU delegates.

We strongly encourage members to nominate and become a delegate on the UOW delegate team:

  • To have a say in how your union is run and be a part of a collective effort to improve your rights at work
  • Build strength on the ground to advance and protect Professional Staff interests.

The strength as the Professional staff union is the diversity of the membership:

  • CPSU NSW members work across all faculties and units
