This government represents #Australia and #Australia ns. We are too gullible and let #AusUnions and #AusMedia pull the strings. Anthony Albanese and eSafety Commissioner want #censorship and #control .

Victorian teachers asked the RCI to do some analysis of real wage losses under their union's agreement with the state government. The results aren't pretty. #ausunions #AEU #COLC #teachers

The RTBU has reached an in-principle agreement with Keolis Downer Adelaide (KDA). All industrial action has therefore been suspended to allow for a ballot on the proposed EA. #ausunions #sapol rtbu.org.au/in_principle_a…

Or duck-hunting, more importantly! #ausunions

Teachers’ working conditions are kids’ learning conditions. Governments have a responsibility to sort out a fair deal for teachers so they can get on with their work. Drawing by the comrades at Workers Art Collective. #ausunions

The AWU welcomes the government’s plan to reform Australia’s merger rules. It's an important first step in tackling abuse of market power by Coles and Woolworths.

But we need to do more.

On International Workers Memorial Day, I always reflect on this passage from Humphrey McQueen’s “Framework of Flesh”. Workplace fatalities & injuries are almost always preventable, and almost always caused by the greed of bosses trying to save time and money. #ausunions

#ausunions Great to see that the BIG union campaign to assert workers' rights to shoot native ducks -- launched in VIC, & co-sponsored by BCF: Australia's number 1 boating, camping & fishing store -- has now reached NSW. ✊

If we want to be a country that makes things we need to secure our manufacturing sector - both now and in the future.

The AWU strongly supports the Albanese Labor Government’s Future Made in Australia plan.

Child Safety Support Officers in Hobart held a stop work meeting today. Workers are fighting back against chronic understaffing, poor working conditions and low wages. Workers were promised reclassification by government 8 weeks ago, but it has not been implemented! #ausunions

Workers at Electrolux (The AMWU members) in Dudley Park walked off the job for the fourth time on Monday morning (29/1). As reported last week, workers are fighting for an 18% pay increase over 3 years, after not having a single increase since 2022. #ausunions

Happy May Day comrades! I am sharing the beautiful Walter Crane print “A Garland for May Day” and thinking about what I would include in my own version of a May Day Garland. There is still so much for workers to fight for. #ausunions

Coles and Woolworths dominate Australia’s supermarket industry, giving them vast power over workers at every link in the grocery supply chain.

Australia has the inside lane to emerge as a clean manufacturing superpower. Our massive mineral wealth, skilled workforce and abundant land and green energy resources can drive the next great wave of national prosperity.

The level crossing collision at Westbury in Northern Tasmania earlier this week has once again highlighted the need for a zero-tolerance approach to level crossing safety The madness has to stop #politas #ausunions rtbu.org.au/westbury_level…
