We've been holding meetings at councils across Victoria about the undfunding of local government. It’s affecting services communities rely on, from mobile libraries to road and other infrastructure maintenance. And it's affecting local government workers by holding down their wages and increasing the pressure at work as they are required to deliver more with fewer resources. It’s a crisis on the frontline. If you've got a story about the impact of underfunding local government, share it with us here: www.asuvictas.com.au/campaigns/crisis-on-the-frontline/
These pics are from a couple of great meetings we had at Frankston City Council last week.
Well when Councils deliver a project make sure it's 100% correct before the job starts..So there not wasting more rate payers money again having too fix the problems that was highlighted throught the community..🤔🤔
ASU Members are on board for Saving Equal Pay!
