CPSU members are Already Covered

Departments and Agencies with employees to be covered by the Victorian Public Service Agreement '16 will issue a notice of representational rights shortly and CPSU members DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND as they're already represented in the bargaining talks.  If your colleague at work is not a member then let them know that the best way to have their voice heard and their views represented is to join with thousands of other CPSU members NOW
