After being medically retired from her position at the Trustee and Guardian, a PSA member has left the union with some parting words of praise.

The member joked she wanted to send a “virtual hug” to Industrial Officer Dean Allen, who helped her with this issue.

“I am forever grateful to Dean for going over and above any expectation of a member aged over 70 by having my first ‘extermination’ postponed,” she said. “ I appreciate his relentless efforts to help me through thick and thin and never wavering.

“I am also forever grateful to Shay Deguara who figured out that my previous job at NSW Department of Education, which was deemed as ‘casual’, should have been ‘temporary’.”

The member has not been lost to the PSA forever, though. With the help of Membership officer Marcos, she has since joined the Retired Associates.
