Worker safety is for all 色狼社区tells Inquiry, not just Emergency Services
The 色狼社区has completed a submission on behalf of members to the NSW Legislative Assembly鈥檚 Committee on Law and Justice.
The Inquiry, launched in May 2016, is investigating聽 Violence against Emergency Service personnel in NSW.
The 色狼社区has made it clear the issue is much wider.
As 色狼社区General Secretary, Anne Gardiner, said on this issue as far back as July 2014, 鈥淎s communities are getting less tolerant in general, our public servants are being placed at more risk.鈥 [Daily Telegraph, 5 August 2014]
Using the vast experience of delegates and 色狼社区staff, the PSA鈥檚 submission highlights the many and varied roles carried out by 色狼社区members and the risks they face on a daily basis while performing their duties on behalf of the community.

Unions NSW 鈥楻eturn to Work Inquiry鈥
The 色狼社区has been working tirelessly to roll-back unfair changes to workers compensation laws made by the NSW Government in 2012.
As part of our campaign, the 色狼社区will be making a submission to the forthcoming review of these laws by the Law & Justice Committee of the NSW Legislative Council (Upper House), highlighting those issues of most concern to our members and their families.
Unions NSW will also be making a submission, focussing on the experiences of injured workers returning to work. Unions NSW is currently collecting stories to include in their submission, both through their website and by visiting 10 locations around the state in August 2016 to speak to workers face-to-face.
