The proposed Public Service Bill 2013 to be
introduced into the NSW Parliament
will
have the effect of abolishing permanent positions. For Librarians
this could mean that their conditions can be changed as previous awards only
related to
permanent
positions.
This
and other aspects of the Bill that is causing concern is listed below:
(1) Remove the
statutory protections for merit selection in the Public Service
(2) Undermine job
security of Public Servants by abolishing the concept of permanent positions
held by officers
(3) Enable the Minister
by determination to remove employees from Award coverage and access to the
Industrial Relations Commission
(4) Enable the
Minister or Department Head to terminate the contract of senior public servants
for no reason
(5) Remove many
statutory protections for employees and replaces them with yet
to
be written Government Sector Employment Rules

If you would like more information about the progress of this bill, and the work being done by the Public Service Association or the Community and Public Sector Union, look no further than their website, http://psa.asn.au/ and sign their petition.
Also, did you know the State Library of NSW is going out on strike on Wednesday June 12?
