CAMPAIGN FOR A BETTER DEAL - NSW PUBLIC SERVICE PAY OFFER Members of the Public Service Association of NSW and other interested Leftlink subscribers are invited to join the Better Deal news group. Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive occasional updates on the NSW Government's pay offer to public servants and activity in the union to oppose the proposed deal. The list is maintained by the Progressive PSA who are rank and file members working for: * improved and more equitable pay; * greater job security; and * to democratise and strengthen our union. The PSA does not have to accept this offer. We can, and should, negotiate a better deal. The offer isn't just about money. The employer wants to extract a lot of concessions. These include 'award simplification' (stripping conditions from our award), more job cuts, extending performance monitoring, and weakening the union through a shift towards agency based (enterprise) bargaining. The NSW Government's pay offer to public servants sets out 'reforms' of the public service on a grand scale, it sets a far reaching agenda that will lead to changes to public sector employment as we now know it. Yet it contains a clause that "there will be no new salaries or conditions claims arising from productivity and efficiency improvements covered by this agreement".
