Notified your position was abolished today?

It has come to our attention that members have been emailed letters notifying them of the abolition of their permanent positions.

This is being done, in some instances, without our members’ manager even knowing!

Has this happened to you? Please email [email protected] if this is the case.

The CPSU/CSA has major concerns of the impact that this will have on members and are well aware of the potential impact this can have. We wish to take the opportunity to remind you to utilise the contacts below if you are in need of assistance throughout this period:
