Greg Mclean , who moved the resolution to adopt Convention 151 in the International Policy, pointed out that -
" Convention 151 highlighted the need for Australia to adopt the Convention not just to ensure protection of 'all public employees ' in Australia, but to show to other Countries, including those in the Region the need to sign on to the Convention . The need to move on the Convention had recently been highlighted at the recent PSI APREC meeting ."
The policy includes recognition of " public employees' organisation " that's Unions .
