    Allow the March for Gaza on the Sydney Harbour Bridge!
    Israel's deliberate starvation of 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. According to the UN one third of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have not eaten for days. 40,000 babies are at imminent risk of death due to starvation. It is urgent that the world acts to stop Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. In response to this horrific situation, the Palestine Action Group Sydney has called for a mass March for Humanity across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge to save Gaza. Shamefully, the NSW Police have applied to the Supreme Court to block the march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This takes place after many statements from the NSW Premier opposing this march. The Sydney Harbour Bridge has been closed many times for marathons, filming a Ryan Gosling movie, even for holding a picnic. Facilitating a mass march of tens of thousands of people in Sydney who want to see urgent action to save Gaza is feasible and would send a powerful message to the world. We call on the Premier of NSW to stop their attempts to ban this march. Let the people of Sydney march for humanity and put an end to the forced starvation of Gaza!

  • Protect Welders Now, Back the New Aluminium Fumes Safety Limit
    Exposure to aluminium welding fumes causes cancer, irreversible lung damage, and neurological harm. An immediate reduction to the WEL is critical to protect workers. Despite the evidence available about the risks, and the Safe Work Australia recommendation, there are employers and government bureaucrats who have suggested a delayed implementation or to forgo the change altogether. We cannot allow political resistance or delay to come before the health and safety of workers. Ministers can decide on this matter any time between now and 31 July 2025.  We need to make sure they hear directly from the people who are most affected. We need to make sure they hear directly from the people who are most affected – the workers and families who suffer the risks of exposure every day.

    Keep Bulldogs Community Children’s Centre Not-for-Profit
    Background The Western Bulldogs AFL Club (yep, the club) put forward a resolution at the 17 June Maribyrnong Council meeting requesting that the Council remove the requirement for the early learning provider to be a not-for-profit organisation, and to extend lease period to 10 years (up from 5).  In a nutshell, council voted in support of this, with a 28 day consultation period. This means that a commercial for-profit provider could soon be running this centre - for a whole decade - before we can have a say in changing it. What’s the issue? • The current provider now needs to compete against for-profit companies to manage the centre, which may prioritise profit over the best interests of our community, children, and education staff. • This new lease agreement will effectively remove a council owned asset from community control and place it in the hands of two corporations. • Long term impacts on accessibility for children in the surrounding neighbourhood to long daycare and Kindergarten as the waitlists will no longer be managed through council, which has criteria to protect inclusivity and access.  • Disruption to continuity of care for the children at the centre, who have established deep relationships with the experienced educators at Bulldogs CCC. A change in provider is likely to displace employment for existing staff.  Why should people care?  Bulldogs Community Children’s Centre is more than just a childcare service—it is a valued part of our community. It is a community asset that should remain in the ownership of the community. Western Bulldogs need to reinforce their commitment to Footscray and not put profits over local families.

  • Help freelancers at Nine Publishing win fair rates
    Off the back of strike action last year, Nine management committed to engage in discussions about freelance rates and conditions with MEAA representatives. Despite this commitment, Nine management have made few tangible changes to their existing terms of engagement for freelance contributors, and have ignored members calls to implement fair rates, annual increases, and a signed agreement. Freelancers are the lowest paid and most insecurely employed workers in the media industry, and the business models of major publications are becoming increasingly reliant on exploitation of these workers. We must demand fair freelance rates and conditions if we are to ensure a future for quality journalism.

  • Pay Junior Doctors for the hours we have worked!
    More than 60 per cent of doctors surveyed have reported making a clinical error due to exhaustion. Our doctors are fatigued, overworked, and suffering from stress and mental health problems. Overworked and underpaid healthcare staff leads to an unsafe and unsustainable healthcare system for both patients and the workers. Without proper support or work / life balance, many doctors in training are leaving the industry altogether. Victoria’s junior doctors are not asking for a pay rise - they are simply asking to be paid for hours they have already worked. Use the form to send a letter to Hon. Mary-Anne Thomas (Minister for Health), let the Victorian Government know that the wage theft from junior doctors needs to stop.

  • Exploited Worker Guarantee - Protection Against Cancellation
    Repeated studies have shown that migrant workers are being systemically paid less than their minimum entitlements. There is ample evidence that fear of visa cancellation is one of the key factors that prevents temporary visa-holders from acting on their rights at work, even if they know they are being mistreated. Only by removing the threat of visa cancellation can migrant workers enjoy the same rights and protections as everyone else who works in Australia. As part of its migration review, the Federal Government should introduce a strong, predictable, and clear guarantee that a worker's visa will not be cancelled where the worker has been subjected to workplace exploitation.

  • Paid placements for all pre-service teachers
    Financial stress means many aspiring teachers struggle to manage their living expenses while undertaking unpaid teaching placements. Some ask family and friends for financial assistance, and others take on personal loans. The impact of unpaid placements is particularly severe for those with families or caring responsibilities, regional and rural students, and students from marginalised communities. Too many pre-service teachers are unable to complete their studies, making Victoria's teacher shortage even worse. Without enough teachers in our schools and kindergartens, students are denied access to the full range of learning and support programs they need.

  • It’s time for a pay rise. Workers are feeling the crunch.
    We are in a cost-of-living crisis. Big businesses are making record profits while wages continue to flat-line. Everyday essentials like groceries, petrol, and bills are going up but our wages are not. Every worker should be able to rely on their job to provide wages that will keep up with the cost of living and allow them to save for the future. This year the Australian Services Union is campaigning for a wage increase that keeps up with the cost of living. The Annual Wage Review is the ONLY guaranteed wage increase in the economy. Your pay rise only comes about from union members getting together to win what we need and deserve. The Australian Services Union is your voice for a pay rise. Without a real pay rise delivered now, wages will continue to go backwards. Sign the petition for a 7% pay rise now!

  • Pay up before profit!
    Working people are absorbing price increases on everything they buy and spending more of their wages on bills. Meanwhile, company gross operating profits rose 10.6% seasonally adjusted for Dec 2022. The Reserve Bank continues to increase interest rates to tackle inflation, but excess corporate profits account for 69% of additional inflation beyond the RBA’s target. Rising unit labour costs account for just 18% of that inflation. It's time that struggling Australians got their fair share of these massive corporate profits. Pay UP!
