Work Overload Campaign Kit Launched
16 November 2004
David Carey, Federal Secretary of the CPSU (SPSF Group) launched the new "Work Overload Campaign Kit" at a meeting of the NSW PSA Central Council.
Work Overload on the Rise
Unreasonable work loads have increasingly become an issue for our members, with complaints on the rise. 62% of our Health and Safety representatives rated this issue in the top 3 health and safety issues in their workplace.
The new campaign kit has been developed in co-operation with all state branches of the Union. It contains a guide for activists on how to campaign and negotiate with their employer as well as a number of resources such as a survey, a diary, a case studies and a bodymapping exercise.
Don't Be a Target
The kit is part of our Don't be a Target" campaign, which was initiated in 2003. The campaign highlights key health and safety problems identified by members and provides tools for delegates and members to tackles these issues together.
The priority issues were identified by members as being:
The first campaign kit produced focused on bullying and this year we have produced one on work overload. In 2005 we will be working on a campaign focusing on personal safety. For a copy of the kit, contact your state branch.
