Australian Public Service Commission

An overwhelming majority of Community and Public Sector Union members gave the thumbs down to the Australian Public Service Commission pay offer on June 1. Jim McIlroy reports.

The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) has raised strong objections to moves by the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) to impose severe restrictions on public sector workers' personal use of social media. "It is completely unreasonable for a worker to face disciplinary action over a private email or something as benign as 'liking' a social media post," CPSU national secretary Nadine Flood said on August 7.
