But our services and the workers who deliver them face cutbacks and threats of privatisation.
Now is not the time to cut essential jobs and services.
With a struggling economy and a growing population, NSW’s needs are becoming greater and more complex. Some of our public services are already struggling to cope.
With the Better Services campaign, public sector workers are calling on our leaders to invest in better services.
If our essential services work better, we will have a better state.
Stand up for investment in NSW jobs and services.
