Stop The Sell Off

Campaign to stop the privatisation of the publicly owned NSW electricity network - Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, Essential Energy & TransGrid

[Adam Searle @SearleAdam1969]

The current power restoration delays from the recent #NSWFloods highlight that over the last 5 years, the #workforce of the #electricity companies have cut their staffing to the bone.

ETU’S JUSTIN PAGE TO @10NewsFirstSyd: The Premier’s claim that Ausgrid has more workers now than 5 years ago is unbelievable. 5 years ago, as Shareholder Minister for Ausgrid, Gladys signed off on annual report showing 5,400 workers. Today there are fewer than 3,500 workers

Hi @wendy_harmer over past 5yrs Ausgrid has been forced to cut staff by the federal regulator, the AER. Can you ask the AER to explain on air why they forced these cuts & why power bills have not come down & why the public is waiting for power to be restored?

[Paul Lister @pwlister]

You claim to make energy consumers better off, can you explain how your 5,000+ NSW power worker job cuts achieves this given prices have gone up & disaster response times have blown out? @aergovau

@BrettHimbury Like putting hundreds of loyal Ausgrid employees out of work? #ByeByeBrett

[Paul Lister @pwlister]

We were right: Privatisation = Higher Prices. @GladysB & Banker Baird nothing more than lying opportunists! #nswpol #auspol https://t.co/GVkSaykl6R

Electricity should be seen as a basic right and supplied by government #QandA

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

No one has mentioned one of the main reasons why our electricity costs have skyrocketed - our electricity was privatised and corporations have made massive profits from it. #qanda

[ETU⚡️NSW @NSW_ETU]

Another day in the National Energy Market where electricity in privatised states is more expensive then publicly owned QLD! #nswpol #auspol

[7NEWS Sydney @7NewsSydney]

Power Strike: We can reveal trains aren't the only system in real trouble. 1.7 million @Ausgrid customers are facing more summer blackouts as thousands of energy workers prepare for rolling strikes over pay. @RobertOvadia #AusGrid #7News

Electricity bills skyrocketing, TAFE's gutted & public hospitals being privatising . This Saturday - DON'T VOTE NATIONAL! #auspol

[ETU⚡️NSW @NSW_ETU]

Doesn't matter who you are, if you're a bad boss we will hold you to account for your actions. #ausunions @unionsaustralia @CathBowtell

[ETU⚡️NSW @NSW_ETU]

Since 2014 @ausgrid has axed 1,569 Full Time jobs despite "job protections" negotiated by @frednile and they want more. #nswpol #ausunions

[ETU National @ETU_national]

Good to see someone finally identify the real driver of higher prices - privatisation. https://t.co/R4vAZ9uMRv

[Paul Lister @pwlister]

It's worth reminding people that Liberal Mike Baird privatised Liddell power station just 2 years ago, now Govt talking but back! #abc730

[ETU⚡️NSW @NSW_ETU]

The ETU successfully had ALP conference support buy back 5% of NSW power companies, tonight @Luke_FoleyNSW confirmed. #nswpol #auspol

Ausgrid off-shore 35 skilled local jobs for $6 per hour... morals & ethics out the window in pursuit of profits! #ausunion #notsosuper
