We’ve been out in yards across the territory these last few months, listening to members, standing by your side, and hearing what matters to you in 2026, many of you having your EAs expiring during the 2026 campaign.
ABOVE: TWU Delegate Lindsay Briggs reporting back to ACT FedEx members earlier this year – now looking TOWARDS 2026!
Whether it’s at Linfox, FedEx, with drivers or with Ambos, I’ve been proud to see the great work that Officials and Delegates alike have been doing for members.
Elsewhere, the ACT Ambulance Delegates Caucus hosted the Minister for Emergency Services at a recent meeting to discuss the future and immediate needs of the ACTAS. Delegates briefed Minister Paterson on the current demands the Service is facing, including pressure on the roster and increasing incidents of Occupational Violence faced by members.
Discussions were also focused on resourcing and infrastructure challenges including the need for a plan to regenerate and service southside facilities. The Minister has committed to a ride along, and spending time at hospitals to meet TWU members.
As we see out the last few weeks of 2025, I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas. I look forward to be standing with you as we take the fight to the industry in 2026.
