Watch Gerard Hayes’ message to members here

Right now, union members are meeting across the state demanding the NSW Government act on its promises to NSW Health workers.

Members are endorsing escalating actions until this government delivers on its promises to:

• Remove the wages cap
• 100% salary packaging
• Updating our Awards
• A Royal Commission into NSW Health

These will deliver long term reform to our broken system. But the immediate needs of NSW Health workers cannot be ignored.

As 1 July approaches this government needs to know that we demand a down payment on better wages. This government needs to know that HSU members mean business.

Shortly you will receive an SMS seeking your endorsement of these demands. You can also endorse the demands at this link.

And if you haven’t already attended a local HSU meeting, please keep an eye out for a meeting notice where members will determine what actions we will take as we escalate our campaign.

This is our time for change. Let’s show this government we mean business.
