Together members in the public service have won major improvements in conversion for temporary employees, a return to good employment security, strong consultation provisions and consistent pay rises. 
James Swan, Together Public Sector Vice President
Together members campaigned hard to win by taking action together and having a strong collective voice to make sure members are recognised and appreciated in the workplace.
Together members won the payment of the one off $1250 sign on bonus. In recent years union members have been instrumental in making changes to legislation and directives like temporary to permanent conversion, fairer higher duties and reviews into recruitment and selection.
Union members win when we act collectively. Together, we can take action and bring our issues to light. The kinds of action we have used include work stoppages and rallies, and these actions along with consistent communication and organising means we can win when we are together.
