The resolution recently endorsed by members has been put to DPI.

This endorsement was used to pressure DPI to commit to the consultation entitlement of members stipulated in the VPS Agreement 2006.

CPSU is pleased to announce that your efforts in endorsing the resolution have paid off.

CPSU received a letter from DPI Secretary, Richard Bolt, committing DPI to consultation.

As consultation starts now, members should disregard any conflicting Departmental information and dates concerning this restructure.

Members are already moving on alternative proposals and community-based action to protect their jobs and prevent worksite closure. Members who wish to challenge the Department s proposal should contact the Industrial Organiser for Primary Industries, Yana Canteloupe, at ycanteloupe@cpsuvic.org.
