The industrial action
Action 7: Indefinite or periodic industrial action in the form of not complying with the Public Sector Standards Commissioners restrictions on public comment as set out in section 3.5 of the Code of Conduct for Victorian Public Sector Employees (No 1) 2007.
How to implement this industrial action
To undertake action under this ban you could call a talk back radio station or write a letter to a newspaper and say that you work in the public sector including where you work, and then give an opinion relating to the behaviour or policy of your department or workplace. Equally you can contact CPSU to coordinate a group conference to talk about these issues with the media.
