Members have a right to know
Image 1: A SafeWork SA Improvement Notice issued against the current PSA, specifically Natasha Brown and Christian Hagivassilas as employers.
This is a formal document that directs them to address a specific safety issue within their workplace. It signifies that SafeWork SA inspectors have identified a contravention of WHS laws and require Natasha Brown to rectify the situation within a specified timeframe.
Our union cannot achieve safety for us, when they cannot achieve safety themselves.

Image 2 to 8: (names have been blanked out to protect identities) A PSA staff survey showing deep issues inside the union.
The results show that PSA staff feel unsafe, unsupported, and unheard—because they are unsafe, unsupported and unheard.
How Natasha and Christian treat their own staff is also how it treats its members—and it goes directly to why change is urgently needed.

PSA United, (Natasha Brown and Christian Hagivassilis), have tried to smear our candidates, falsely claiming we’re backed by government or employers, and they have ridiculed HR and IR employees and members as being anti-union. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
The truth is this: Natasha and Christian have repeatedly attacked their own members, undermined workplace reps, and disrespected the PSA staff employed to support the membership.
Natasha Brown and Christian Hagivassilis do not reflect union values. They gave the Gen Sec a 12% pay increase while their own house is in chaos. They are not strong union leaders. With industrial staff disrespected and leaving the PSA constantly, the members suffer, because industrial support is strained.
We want a union that fights for safe workplaces, fair treatment, and dignity for all - and it starts with the leadership.
Do not reward this leadership with another three years.
Vote for leadership with the values, experience and plans to turn our union around.
Vote PSA Change.
