The USU election policy covers three key areas industrial relations - local government - public ownership, detail on all the policy can be located at
Public Ownership
We support the public ownership of water and electricity utilities and essential services.
We believe that public ownership of these assets contributes to higher employment rates in these industries and enhanced quality of service to the community.
Public ownership of Utilities safeguards against the creation of private monopolies. Private monopolies often lead to increased costs for both Local Government and the community.
