The CPSU is taking it up to the Commonwealth Government with strikes on Monday March 21 in all sections of the Commonwealth Public Service. Over Easter airports will experience disruption when Border Force workers go on strike. After 3 years of the Government refusing to negotiate the Union and its members are pushing back against what the Government calls 'streamlining' but which is actually cuts to conditions and wages for the benefit of a corporate type structure of 'flexiblity' on the part of the employees. In our second report we talk to Dr Pat Ranald from AFTINET about what the Trans Pacfic Partnership (TPP) means to workers.
