Created by PSA Public Interest on December 11, 2006, 12:21 am

We believe the era of disparaging, downsizing and privatising the public sector must end.

At a time when more pressure is being placed on the delivery of public services, policies that reduce the number of workers in the public sector and drive down their conditions is not a solution – it is part of the problem.

Accordingly, we call on all candidates for the March 2007 state election to commit to the following principles:

1. Protect the NSW industrial relations system from the Howard Government’s Work Choices laws, and vow not to hand over industrial relations powers to Canberra.

2. Commit to essential public services and those workers who provide them, including the retention of frontline support workers. Further, commit to maintain public sector job levels in real terms as at 2006 State Budget levels, including the retention of frontline support workers.

3. Guarantee to protect public sector delivery of services for NSW and the workers providing these services. This must include a commitment to career development opportunities and ensuring public sector jobs provide meaningful careers.

4. Maximise departmental stability and ensure a focus on delivery of services to benefit communities in metropolitan and country NSW.

5. Protect workers affected by workplace change so that all workers maintain meaningful jobs, and through redeployment and reskilling avoid the use of forced redundancy.
