We would like to thank all of our valued ANMF members and their family, friends and colleagues, who exercised their right to ‘have a say’ and joined the Retain. Recruit. Recognise march and rally from the Royal Hobart Hospital to Parliament House on Thursday 7 December.
The weather was warm but that didn’t stop you from sending a strong message to the Tasmanian Government that the future of nursing in Tasmania is in their hands. To those that stayed behind to maintain safe patient care: we are deeply grateful.
It was very nice to have members of the general public applaud the marchers. Your work is widely appreciated.
We would like to send a big thank you to anyone who:
- Attended on of the community events around the state
- Made phone calls to members
- Rallied the troops to come along
- Shared the event on social media
- Did letter box drops, put up posters
- Participated in walk arounds
- Handed out cards to patients
- Spoke to community members
The ANMF, Organisers, and Representatives are fighting for the Tasmanian Government to offer a competitive salary. We understand fair pay is essential if Tasmania is to retain, recruit and recognise the future of the Tasmanian Public Sector nursing and midwifery work force.
Remember – the future is run by those that turn up and your contribution is essential. You are the union.
