A MESSAGE FROM YOUR POSTIE
  • Australia Post is closing our Delivery Centre and shifting us to West Sunshine in July, this year.
  • Australia Post is using this move as an opportunity to cut full-time jobs.
  • They want to employ new starters for only 4 hours a shift, and pay them 15% less per hour.
  • They even intend making some of the posties, out-workers.
  • This will lead to a rapid turn-over of staff and a reduction in the quality of your postal service. There will be an increase in wrong deliveries and in delayed mail.
We need your help!

  • Sign our petition
  • Display a 'save our posties' car-sticker, sign or banner ยท
  • Attend the protest being held on:

Saturday, May 10 at 10 am
