WorkChoices: whatever the name, NEVER again |
|
Tony Abbott was a key proponent of John Howard's unfair WorkChoices legislation. From what Abbott has already said it is very clear that, if elected, he will bring back key aspects of that legislation including reintroducing unfair dismissal laws and bringing back individual contracts. Australians sent a very clear message at the last election - No WorkChocies - and we will do the same thing at this federal election if necessary.
WorkChoices was unfair. It seriously undermined the rights of working Australians. We must not let Tony Abbott bring these policies back under a different name.

UnionsWA's Simone McGurk on the Pay Up! campaign |
|
Dragged, kicking and screaming into the 21st century, I have been convinced to start twittering, inflicting my thought bubbles onto the world.
One consolation for the world is that they have to elect to receive my thought bubbles.
It did seem to me that there could be people who might like to hear a different take on things. For instance I thought it might be useful to shine some light on what is happening for ordinary people working in different jobs throughout the state.
We often seem obsessed by the big money flowing up North but fail to appreciate the stories for those who don’t fit the “BOOM TOWN” mould.

Telstra is treating its highly skilled workforce as second class citizens and is refusing to pay union members an equivalent payrise to employees who accepted a non-union agreement. There have been ongoing issues for Telstra employees and the Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union has recently scaled up their fight with rallies being held around Australia and the launch of a new website Telstra Greed. Log on and find out how you can support these workers in their campaign fair treatment from Telstra. |

The In Public Hands campaign is being run by three unions (Liquor Hospitality & Miscellaneous Workers Union, Health Services Union and the Civil Service Association) in order to fight the State Government’s attempts to privatise essential services in our WA hospitals and schools.
The Western Australian government has announced plans to privatise health services at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Albany Health Campus, Armadale Health Campus, Midland Health Campus and Busselton Health Campus. They won't stop there. See the campaign website for more information and for ways to take action in order to prevent this happening.
