HAPPENING AT UNIONSWA
Do you know how often your super gets paid? Even if you don’t regularly check your balance there are rules around when your employer needs to pay you super, it’s called the Superannuation Guarantee (SG). Currently, employers only need to make SG contributions quarterly, but this will change from 1 July 2026.
The No Respect, No Service project provides workshops and resources to repond to the high rates of sexual harassment and other forms of gendered violence experienced by young women and migrant women working in the hospitality, retail, and community sectors.
It’s time all workers across Australia have access to ten days of paid leave to manage their reproductive
health. Paid leave will help address the gender pay gap, reduce reproductive health stigmas, support workers’ health and wellbeing and create more inclusive workplaces.
Western Australia continues to have one of the most gender-segregated workforces in Australia, despite growing demand for skilled workers in industries such as construction, energy and transport. A new report released by UnionsWA today reveals that while women are increasingly interested in entering these sectors, many continue to face significant barriers to recruitment, retention and career progression.
This Sunday 11th October, everyday people around the world will be demonstrating against the systematic destruction of the Palestinian people. Here in Australia we call upon everyone with a conscience; families, workers, students, young and old, to join the country-wide march demanding the end of the Australian Government’s support for genocide.
Please join us for a campaign briefing and campaign planning session focusing on the impacts specific to women and gender-diverse workers. All women and gender-diverse union members, including women’s committee members, delegates, and activists, are encouraged to attend.
