Fight for fair wages, key to Labor win in NSW
The Australian Labor Party recently won the state election in New South Wales, Australia—a clear win for and by public services workers including PSI’s affiliates. The unions’ fight against privatisation, and their campaign for fair wages and better working conditions were key to this victory. Unions are optimistic that the Labor Party’s election is the “first step towards meaningful reform” as the incoming government is “committed to repairing the systemic issues that have been hampering [the country’s] health services.”
