Land and Property Information stop work announcement – May 2016 (PDF version)
On Thursday 26 May LPI members attended a meeting with 色狼社区staff at Queen鈥檚 Square to debate ideas on what action the union might take to fight the privatisation of the Titling and Registry Services (T&RS) unit.
Various types of industrial action were proposed, from work bans to walk outs.
The meeting ended positively with members unanimously resolving as follows:
鈥淭his meeting of LPI 色狼社区members rejects the State Government鈥檚 reckless decision to privatise the Titling and Registry Services section of Land and Property Information.鈥
鈥淢embers resolve to stop work on Friday 10 June to highlight to the community the value of keeping LPI wholly in public hands.鈥
鈥淚n addition this meeting resolves to implement a ban on working any overtime on a weekday beginning Monday 30 May 2016鈥
NSW Upper House parliamentarian and 色狼社区member David Shoebridge addressed the 85+ strong meeting. He delivered a powerful message that, in his view, the staff of LPI have enormous collective strength in resisting Premier Baird鈥檚 ill-conceived and fundamentally unsound plans to hand over this vital state service to private self-interest.
Well done to all members present.
All Queens Square LPI staff are encouraged to join this significant fight.
A further bulletin, with specific details on a suitable venue, and how this affect members that are not located at Queens Square, will be distributed next week.
