PSA Press Release
Attention: State Sector/Industrial Relations reporters May 29, 2002
PSA President re-elected
PSA President Ian Bamber has been re-elected for a further two-year term, PSA national secretary Paul Cochrane said
today.
“Ian Bamber has successfully steered the PSA through a time of great change over the last two years as a result of both
the signing of the PSA/Government Partnership Agreement, and the shift in the industrial relations climate stemming from
the Employment Relations Act.”
“The new industrial relations environment is one of partnership and inclusion, replacing the old-style, adversarial
model. For the PSA, this has led to a steady increase in membership, an increase in delegate numbers, and an
unparalleled interest in delegate training.”
Paul Cochrane said Ian Bamber was heading an organisation which could justifiably be proud of the achievements it had
made over recent years in enhancing the quality of New Zealand’s public services and one which was looking forward to
continuing that work in the future.
