The Public Service Association and Community and Public Sector Union (NSW Branch) will tonight officially open its new Newcastle office, strengthening its presence in the Hunter while building on a proud history in the region dating back to October 1899.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSA President Nicole Jess said the new office reflects the union\u2019s ongoing commitment to regional members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNewcastle has a deep and proud connection to the PSA stretching back more than 125 years,\u201d Ms Jess said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis new office strengthens our ability to support members locally, ensuring they have access to representation, advice and advocacy close to where they live and work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PSA General Secretary Stewart Little said the investment would help grow union strength across the Hunter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
