MO’S UNITED<br />
This year our EUPS Team (Energy, Utilities, Private Sector and Airlines) co-ordinated a USU team of BRO’S<br />
to grow their MO’S!<br />
We ramped up the campaign by holding a Movember<br />
BBQ on 21 November.<br />
The Movember campaign raises funds and awareness<br />
for all the dads, brothers, sons, cousins, nephews,<br />
grandfathers, uncles and mates in our lives.<br />
WHAT MOVEMBER RAISES FUNDS FOR:<br />
Info-cir raising awareness of men's health<br />
Info-cir prostate cancer<br />
Info-cir testicular cancer<br />
Info-cir men's mental health<br />
Info-cir male suicide prevention<br />
As we headed to print we had already raised $1,235<br />
for this important campaign - already exceeding our<br />
goal of $1,000.<br />
Thank you to all those who supported this<br />
great cause by either participating or making<br />
a donation.<br />
OVERTIME WIN<br />
@ MERRIWA<br />
USU members at the Merriwa branch of the Upper Hunter Council had a win with overtime<br />
now being paid for the Willow Tree job as well as back pay to 2017. Council has<br />
admitted that they were in the wrong and has said that they will now pay the overtime.<br />
The Delegate Gaynor Blackadder has been a driving force to achieve this outcome.<br />
