Queensland Division Organiser Ross Gwyther retires

A

fter 10 exciting and satisfying years working for the Union, Queensland Division Organiser, Ross Gwyther is retiring this month.

‘It was with some regret that I decided to leave, as we have some major battles ahead of us, and I would like to be part of those campaigns’, Ross said. ‘I have had a wonderful time in meeting and working with some great members at our Queensland campuses,’ he said, ‘as well as working with and being supported by my colleagues both in the Queensland Division and in the National Office.’ However, Ross has decided to move on. His main retirement project is hopefully to initiate a ‘workers education project’ and solicit helpers from a range of unions – so the NTEU has not seen the last of him yet! Ross wished to say ‘Thanks to my comrades in the NTEU for some wonderful times.’ A
