ScriptRunner to say != Issue Type

[Julia]

I want this script to run on all issues that are NOT of the Initiative type. 

How can I say in the if & else statements to only do these things if the issue type is not Initiative. 

I tried 

def issueTypeField = GetFieldByName("Issue Type")

def issueType = issueTypeField.getValue() 

if (parent link == null && issueType != "Initiative")

but that didn't work... any help?

//parent link

def parentLinkField = getFieldByName("Parent Link")

def typeOfWorkField = getFieldByName("Type of Work")

def parentlink = parentLinkField.getFormValue() 

if (issueContext.issueType.name == "Initiative") {

 typeOfWorkField.setRequired(false)

 typeOfWorkField.setHidden(false)

}

else if (issueContext.issueType.name !== "Initiative" && parentlink == null ) {

 typeOfWorkField.setRequired(true)

 typeOfWorkField.setHidden(false)

}

else if (issueContext.issueType.name != "Initiative"){

 typeOfWorkField.setRequired(false)

 typeOfWorkField.setHidden(true)

}
