Delegate Dayna French

Your HACSU workplace delegate

DAYNA FRENCH

Food Services Assistant North West Regional Hospital

WORKING in food services is a fast paced and physical role that involves prepping, delivering and service of food throughout the hospital and cafeteria area.

While the workloads are high, I really enjoy the work and interaction with my colleagues. I've been at the NWRH for nearly 25 years, most of my adult working career, but before that I worked as a junior in domestic laundry services. I have been a member in excess of 20 years, and moved into a delegate role to try and improve the everyday working conditions for my current and future colleagues. I find it hard to hang my hat on one achievement, but I feel that over my time as a delegate I've assisted in unionising my workgroup and improving our day to day working environment. I would like to see conditions continue to improve for workers making it an appetising career for future generations. I enjoy getting away to my shack at Hellyer Beach every opportunity I get, and also like to relax with a bit of craft. Of course, I enjoy a quiet beer watching my beloved Collingwood play. I would have to say that the whole Fast and Furious franchise are my favourite movies, I can’t single one out.
