I was talking to voters at Chelsea Train Station in marginal Dunkley this morning because we can't afford a Dutton Government. #DontRiskDutton @VicUnions @unionsaustralia

Union activists have been all over the Prahran electorate this morning, talking with voters about how we're going to avoid a nuclear-powered Prahran by putting the Liberals last at the upcoming by-election! #springst

The Albanese Labor Gment has announced steps to ensure apprentices are safe at work & treated with respect. Congrats to apprentices who have come together in powerful ways to speak up, share stories in the media & organised community support to demand the dignity they deserve.

With thanks to @UnitedWorkersOz members.

make sure to check out the stories of young worker zahra. zahra is a hungry jacks manager and is still on junior wages 👎👎👎 thanks @cait__kelly for telling these stories

Solidarity with the mighty @anmfvic members at St Vincent's Private Hospitals demanding safer nurse to patient ratios in their enterprise agreement @VicUnions

Nurses have walked off the job at @StVincentsMelb private. They are demanding a 1:4 nurse patient ratio like in the public system. "1:4 like next door, 1:8 is not safe." @anmfvic @VicUnions

Empty shelves at @woolworths Chelsea. This is what happens when you treat workers like robots and don't pay them a fair wage - they strike to demand dignity and remind us how important their work is. #WooliesStrike @UnitedWorkersOz

Throw back to volunteering last Saturday to talk to community members in the scorching heat in Frankston @VicUnions

We'll be on @ABCaustralia Conversation Hour at 11am this morning speaking with @RichelleHunt about pay rates and work conditions for under 18s. Tune in!

The Young Workers Centre has been at the Victorian Parliament this week talking about the valuable work they do supporting young workers with employment law matters. Drop into their stall in Queen's Hall to meet some of the fantastic team @YWCVictoria @VicUnions #springst

“Victorian apprentices can be proud that today we are one step closer to winning justice and safe workplaces for all apprentices.” weareunion.org.au/victorian_appr…

HUGE breaking news for apprentices across Victoria. After a huge campaign by young workers, the Victorian Government has agreed to crucial reforms that will help us BAN BAD BOSSES! #springst youngworkers.org.au/government_com…

This week at Parliament you'll find the Young Workers Centre talking to people about the great work we do as a community legal centre. As part of that we support young workers with employment issues, and teach them what their rights are ✊✊✊

I spoke to @francophileenoz about a 19yo apprentice plumber who was transported in a ute toolbox. This is an extreme case of apprentice exploitation but sadly I’m not surprised. abc.net.au/news/2024-10-0…

A reminder: it's a myth that a child must be 14 and 9 months to work. TX Maxx are facing criminal charges after breaching child employment laws at it's Werribee store. @YWCVictoria nationaltribune.com.au/tk-maxx-served…

Me on the blower talking to family about the referendum. I’m a #YES (did my shirt and badge give it away?) #yes23 #millioncallsforyes

Only 10 days until the #VoiceToParliament referendum. We can only win through mass action - & the best way to sway undecided voters is a conversation with a loved one. That’s why I just made my first call for the #MillionCallsForYes campaign! #Yes23 calls.yes23.com.au

The same folks who brought us 'African gangs' hysteria & opposed marriage equality want you to believe that a #VoiceToParliament would be divisive. #VoteYES23Australia #Yes23 #UnionsForYes
