Welcome to CPSU The General Staff Union

Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to visit CPSU The General Staff Union website.

The CPSU represents non-academic staff in universities. In Queensland, workers who are in the CPSU are part of a union with over 30,000 members who deliver public services in a range of settings, including universities. 

Three key reasons for you to be a union member:

Advice: Show...
Support and Protection: Show...
Improved Conditions: Show...

A union’s strength comes from the members. So every worker who decides to join the union makes the union stronger and more effective. Start working together with your workmates to improve conditions and support other workers: join on-line now.

If you have more questions about CPSU The General Staff Union contact a delegate or speak to an organiser.
