FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Child safety workers will rally across Queensland on Wednesday, amid fears of job losses.
The Together union says the rallies are a response to the loss of frontline jobs, including some temporary workers in child safety service centres.
“The loss of temporary jobs in these vital areas is a very real concern for our members, particularly the loss of those working the front line at child safety counters and in disability support,” Together union secretary Alex Scott said in a statement.
“These temporary job cuts seem to be out of control and unsustainable.”
Rallies will be held on Wednesday in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast, and in the state’s far north.
Premier Campbell Newman on Tuesday said he didn’t want to see temporary workers on the child safety service centre desk go.
Unions say the jobs are at risk under the Newman government’s cost saving drive, which includes not renewing the contracts of temporary public service workers in non-frontline roles.
Mr Newman met with Child Safety Minister Tracy Davis on Friday.
He’s blamed reports about the job losses on a communication breakdown in the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services.
“It is not what I want to see happen. It is not consistent with our commitment,” the premier said on Tuesday.
He said he considered child safety workers as front line staff who should be protected from job cuts.
Mr Newman says cabinet has started considering the terms of reference for a wide-ranging inquiry into child safety, which was promised at the March election.
