Red Tape Winter 2026

Red Tape Winter 2026

The future is much brighter with a strong union behind you.

The winter issue of Red Tape looks at how our state is facing the future and the vital role our members play creating a safer, fairer, cleaner state. And backing up these members is a union dedicated to ensuring they receive the pay, conditions and protections they deserve.

The future of our workplaces was just one of the topics discussed at our annual conference. Red Tape looks at the array of speakers and delegates who made this year’s conference such a success.

As part of the country’s largest social justice movement, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøCPSU NSW is taking action to improve the lives of everyone in out state.

Read up on our campaign to get a statewide government response to the domestic violence crisis afflicting NSW. We talk to people who have survived violence in home, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøCPSU NSW members who work with them and outline how a coordinated, government-led response will save lives.

We also look at the report our union published on the housing crisis that is seeing members pay huge sums in rent, live hours from their workplaces and even face the prospect of homelessness. Our report outlines the issues at stake and gives suggestions on how our governments can fix a growing problem.

We also look at the $1000 cost-of-living adjustment won by our union to help members address spiralling inflation.

We go behind the scenes at a rally to save Goulburn Gaol and look at our work improving the conditions of our members in schools.

As always, Red Tape has thought-provoking columns, news developments, and book and podcast reviews.
