We are no longer updating world-psi.org and it will be progressively phased out: all content will be migrated to the new site and old links will redirect eventually.
PSA has been a member of PSI since 1970, but its history dates back to 1913, when the Public Service Association (PSA) was formed from the remnants of a body known as the Civil Service Association. It was open to ‘all persons in the employment of the New Zealand Government” with personal service to membership, the commitment.
A special interactive centenary website documents the people and events that shaped the union’s history. It has video and audio clips as well as online access to 100 years of the PSA Journal.
The New Zealand Film Archive is also compiling a presentation documenting the union’s history through film and TV clips.
In September, the PSA will be part of a conference on the public sector, organised with with Victoria University. Several events are planned all over the country.
