CPSU leaders facing election challenge, as nominations close

At least four of the CPSU's seven-strong leadership face a challenge at the election beginning on November 19, after contenders including a former Greens mayor of Sydney's inner-city Marrickville emerged when nominations closed at noon today. But in a surprise development, the "hard Left" Members First group has decided not to run a ticket for the key leadership positions, after taking some heart from the union's advocacy for a return to more centralised bargaining.
