Hands Off Our Work From Home Rights
.png)
Big business is trying to rip away the rights of people who work from home – and we need to stop them.
Right now, employer lobby group the Australian Industry Group (AiG) is trying to gut protections in the Clerks Award. They’re arguing that if you work from home, employers should be able to refuse to pay overtime, remove penalty rates, eliminate breaks, and roster staff for as little as 30 minutes a day.
This is a cynical cash grab and a dummy spit from big business whose agenda was rejected by the Australian public at the last election.
Why is this important?
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about flexibility. It’s about protecting what workers already fought for, and rely on, to earn fair pay and balance work and life.
If big business get away with this, it won’t stop here.
We call on the Australian Government to:
- Reject big business’ dangerous push to gut work from home rights
- Lock in national protections that guarantee fair pay, breaks, and hours – no matter where you work
- Enshrine the right to request work from home for all workers who can, and want to, do their job remotely
