Professional Staff job cuts: Write to your MP


Following the State of the Sector briefing to hear about the issues faced by Professional Staff in NSW Universities your CPSU NSW delegates and staff have been working behind the scenes and in your workplaces to fight the dramatic cuts to Professional Staff jobs.

Write to your MP

It is vitally important that we raise the profile of Professional Staff with political representatives and leaders in NSW.

The CPSU NSW has prepared a letter that you can use to raise your concerns with the federal Minister for Education the Hon. Jason Clare, State Minister for Tertiary Education the Hon. (Steve) Steven James Wahn, and your local state and federal MPs.

We all know that Professional Staff play an integral role in universities, one that must not be drowned out by the voices and needs of academic staff.

CLICK HERE to make your voice heard and raise the profile of professional staff cuts with political representatives.
