Summary: Union Man Appointed To P.s.i. (Press, 20 July 1989)
On 20 July 1989, it was announced that Mike Waghorne, a senior researcher from the Public Service Association’s national office in Wellington, has been appointed to represent 1.5 million members on the European-based organisation Public Services International (P.S.I.). This appointment marks a significant achievement, as Waghorne is the first official from New Zealand or Australia to represent the Asia and South Pacific region within the organisation. In his new role, he will advocate for public service unions across a vast area, encompassing Turkey to the east, extending through Asia, and including Western Samoa and the Cook Islands. Public Services International is one of the largest trade union secretariats globally, representing around 11 million members from various public service unions. The organisation has a rich history, having been established 75 years prior, and is headquartered in Ferney-Voltaire, located on the French-Swiss border. Waghorne’s appointment is significant not only for the Public Service Association but also for the representation of public service unions within the Asia-Pacific region at an international level.
