Without unions we wouldn’t have half the conditions we have that provide a balance between work and life. I’ll always be a member.

What is the CPSU?

If you’re an employee in the Tasmanian State Service, State Authority or a Government Business Enterprise, the Community & Public Sector Union is your union.

We’re here to campaign for public services and ensure you and your colleagues have a strong voice in the workplace. Most importantly, we negotiate with your employer to ensure public sector workers receive the best possible wages and working conditions.

Why do I need a Union?

Union membership is protection for your most important asset – your job.

With employment and working conditions becoming less secure every day, union membership is an essential way to ensure you have immediate access to professional support and advice when you need it most. It also means you have the support of your union-member colleagues at work.
