ASU goes from strength to strength
After more than 12 months of industrial action at Sydney Water, in 2024 members secured a new agreement with an 8% uplift in wages this year and an additional cost of living payment.
At Hunter Water and WaterNSW members achieved good outcomes in their EBAs and protected their conditions.
2024 John Tierney Award
Throughout the very long and stressful EA process, despite all the risks to her own job and career, Leila worked strategically to build union membership and to provide those new and existing members with support despite the threats and union busting activities of management towards activist delegates like Leila.
Congratulations Leila Ishac on winning our 2024 John Tierney Award!
An extraordinary ASU proud delegate at Sydney Water, Leila has always understood that a union can only be as effective as it is united.
Leila never stops. Her commitment to her colleagues and her genuine commitment to the ASU, our principles and values is beyond question. She was a popular nominee and a very worthy recipient of this year’s John Tierney Award.
