Finance Sector Union members share concerns being raised across Australia on the rising levels of debt in our community, the increase in mortgage defaults and the impact the global financial crisis is and will have on working families during this year and beyond.

In October 2008 FSU launched a Charter for Responsible Lending and has been lobbying our major employers (i.e. the major Banks) and politicians on the issues we see in the Finance industry and how we can make the Finance industry stronger, more socially responsible and better employers.

The FSU has produced  materials that may be used to raise awareness of the issue:

• Debt stress flyer
• Sample letter to refuse credit
• Sample letter to stop sales targets
