Unfortunately, Civicorps has used legal tactics to delay recognizing Civicorps United. It is a contradiction for Civicorps leadership to say they are proud of the union jobs that Corpsmembers are able to attain after graduation, while at the same time denying their employees the right to a union.

A social-justice oriented, nonprofit public charter school should live its values and immediately recognize Civicorps United and begin negotiations.

They voted overwhelmingly to strike at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to gain a fair wage and better working conditions.

For clarification purposes: there will be an adjustment for Continental Flight Attendants to reflect time spent in initial flight attendant training. In the case of two flight attendants having the same seniority, the older flight attendant will be senior.

Why do we need to accept this contract?

-Get United Airlines back on top as leader in the industry where we belong;

-Stop wasting money and valuable resources (both management and union's);

-Vastly improve employee morale and unify all departments;

-Put the focus back on our passengers and great customer service;

-End our frustration and get us back focusing on the job we love without these distractions;

Recognizing that many of the United flight attendants may not like some of Continental's current contract, if we don't become a united workforce now, then furloughs and other negative actions will continue. It will be better to lose a little now than a lot in the future. Our industry has a long history of turmoil in this area and frequently the employees are the ones that take the brunt of these consolidation actions.

This action will enable us to have more control over our future and put us ALL in a better bargaining position to renegotiate in December.

Keeping people healthy and enhancing well-being improves the quality of life for all South Australians.

Keeping people healthy actively reduces premature death.

Keeping people healthy reduces chronic diseases and health system costs associated with them.

The State Government is considering recommendations from the McCann review of Non-Hospital Based Services which include:

• cutting services that keep people healthy including older people, women, adolescents and children.
• cutting services that allow people with chronic health conditions to live independently.
• cutting services that work to combat the obesity epidemic, including ‘Community Foodies’.
• slashing up to 50% from services that are already struggling with tight budgets.
• slashing up to 50% from services that are reducing the cost (both financial and human) that would be spent on medical treatment.

These recommendations from the McCann review are short-sighted and will only increase the burden on our already over-stretched hospital system. These recommendations are not based on sound evidence.

These recommendations are also completely at odds with previous review recommendations, current Government Policy, and international health thinking which support increased investment in primary health care, particularly disease prevention and health promotion.

We all know that prevention is better than cure, so please sign this petition which calls on the State Government to reject these recommendations of the McCann review.

Prevention is better than cure, so keep people as healthy as possible and prevent the McCann of worms!

« Le Media Trust a été institué par une loi de l’Assemblée Nationale en 1994 (voir en attaché) 9. Il a pour principal objectif la formation des journalistes. Depuis sa création, de nombreux journalistes, SR et photographes, entre autres, ont bénéficié de cours de formation à Maurice et à l’étranger.

En 2006, un nouveau Board of Trustees est démocratiquement élu par l’ensemble de la presse. Le Premier ministre, Navin Ramgoolam, qui n’a pas bonne presse à cette époque, refuse, en tant que ministre de l’Information, d’approuver la constitution de ce nouveau Bord, pourtant démocratiquement élu. Il avance comme prétexte l’imminence d’une éventuelle adoption du Media Commission Bill à l’Assemblée Nationale.

Refusant de cautionner cette manœuvre anti-démocratique du gouvernement, les membres élus du Board démissionnent. Depuis six ans le Media Trust ne peut plus ainsi fonctionner. Depuis 2006, des dizaines et des dizaines de gens de presse sont ainsi privés d’une possibilité de formation, si cruciale à leur carrière, à une amélioration de la qualité de la presse mauricienne et à l’approfondissement de la démocratie.

C’est l’argent du contribuable (dont fait partie les gens de la presse) que le gouvernement utilise pour financer, à travers le Media Trust, la formation des journalistes (environ Rs 2 millions annuellement). Ce n’est pas l’argent personnel de Navin Ramgoolam. Le PM ne peut unilatéralement décider de paralyser ainsi le Media Trust.

D’ailleurs, selon le Media Trust Act, la décision de dissoudre l’institution revient à son Board et non au ministère de l’Information (Media Trust Act, Section 9.1).

La formation des gens de la presse et des journalistes en particulier reste une priorité. Il y a par ailleurs un malentendu qu’il faut absolument dissiper chez les gens de presse en particulier et chez les Mauriciens en général : le Media Trust n’a rien à voir avec la défense des intérêts des journalistes ou avec la sauvegarde de la liberté de la presse ou de la démocratie ; le Media Trust a pour mission la formation des journalistes uniquement. Soulignons que le Media Trust Act fait de la place pour « a representative of registered associations of journalists » sur son Board.

Paralyser une institution d’une telle importance pour la presse mauricienne sous prétexte de l’éventuelle adoption d’une Media Commission relève de la stratégie d’un esprit mesquin et revanchard. »

UNISON believes that these changes undermine staff's work life balance, health and well being and that these are important to both staff and the student experience

Whilst we continue to support self-regulation (which means being self-funded) and we continue to oppose any cross subsidisation between professions, we do not believe this increase is justifiable. We believe that any increase should not exceed the growth in Consumer Price Index (CPI) or wages growth.

One of the alleged benefits of moving to National Registration was the increased efficiencies and economies of scale that could be achieved by a national model. We have seen no evidence of such economies or efficiencies being implemented by the NMBA or their secretariat, the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

In addition, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) receives direct payment from training organisations who are seeking accreditation for nursing and midwifery programs of study. The cost implications of accreditation and monitoring should be factored into that payment to ANMAC.
