We recently held the inaugural Edna Ryan training day for ASU members who are women under 30. Edna Ryan was an equal-pay warrior of her time, and the Edna Ryan foundation has partnered with the ASU to support young women to get involved in their union.
The vast majority of our members in the community sector are women – yet that number is not reflected in the number of workplace delegates we have across the community sector.
The day was a great success with the members attending deciding to form a network of young women ASU members who will work together to grow their union.
