University of Newcastle – Vale Ron Hunter
13 September 2018
We have received advice that Ron Hunter, your longstanding É«ÀÇÉçÇøCPSU NSW Organiser, passed away on Tuesday night.
Ron had been employed by the É«ÀÇÉçÇøsince 2003 as an Organiser in the Newcastle region and had been a member and delegate for many years.
He was dedicated to the rights of workers, particularly those of you at the University.
Ron was a passionate believer in not only the values and work of the É«ÀÇÉçÇøCPSU NSW but the trade union movement as a whole.
Many of you will have experienced his support over the years.
He was unfailingly kind and considerate of the needs of others but quite prepared to take on a fight when necessary and indulge in robust discussion with management where required.
He will be sadly missed by his family, friends, colleagues and members of the É«ÀÇÉçÇøCPSU NSW.
We will circulate the funeral details to you when they come to hand.
