Victorian Local Council Elections
Support candidates who have signed the ASU’s Pledge. The ASU’s Local Council Election Pledge is a commitment to communities and workers.
I will act with integrity, always remembering the weight of my decisions. I will always act for a better standard of living for working people, work to preserve public services, and stand up for secure jobs and good wages. I take seriously the impact that my actions as both a candidate for local council, and a councillor, will have on Victoria’s 50,000 local government employees.
If elected, I pledge to:
- Be committed to democracy and transparency in decision making.
- Act in the best interests of my community, and the best interests of vulnerable communities.
- Act to maintain a quality work environment with secure employment and good wages and conditions.
- Be committed to keeping and delivering services through the council directly, not through outside providers.
- Advocate at all times for fair revenue and financing, to deliver public services for the public good.
- Always act to protect and improve the occupational health and safety of council staff.
- Always consider the good of the collective and the values and principles of unionism in all that I do.
Any

Where possible vote for a candidate (or candidates) who has signed our pledge.
