Issues At Work? Here's A Better Answer

Got a minute is the employment advice column from the Sydney
Morning Herald.


Each week executive coach and public speaker Dr Kirstin Ferguson
answers readers questions about workplace issues and gives advice
on how best to solve them.


On October 27th, the Communications Team at the PSA noticed
someone from a government agency had written into the column
seeking advice on a workplace matter that related to unfair
treatment from their employer. 


The advice given by Dr Ferguson goes against everything that the
Public Service Association recommends and did not include the
obvious - to seek advice from your union.


So instead, we have enlisted the PSAs Industrial Officer Nick
player, with years of experience of advocacy for workers in
industrial issues specific to government organisations.
