WATCH: Eastern Health workers fight against privatisation push

A battle between the Health Services Union and the Victorian government to stop the proposed privatisation of up to 400 non-clinical jobs within Eastern Health is now underway.

I spoke with Greg, a Patient Services Assistant who has been an employee of Eastern Health for 36 years.

He said he was concerned the shift to a labour hire company would remove salary packaging and create broader uncertainty for the last five or so years of his working life.
