Noel Saffy, Australia Post’s longest serving indigenous postie, recently clocked up 50 years with Australia Post – and 50 years membership with the CEPU/CWU.
Noel is a postie based out at the Charleville Post Office in Queensland, where he has been delivering mail since 1970.
“I started with Australia Post in December 1967 in Longreach. I came to Charleville in 1970 to the post office and have been here ever since,” he said.
Noel said he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
“I like going to work. The day I leave will certainly be a sad one for me. I have a few more years in me yet.”
Good on-ya Noel. Congratulations on such a huge milestone not only with your career but for your values and unwavering support for your workmates and your Union.
