Portable Long Service Leave for Tasmanian workers
HACSU, ASU and UWU are calling on the State Parliament to legislate for a Portable Long Service Leave Scheme (PLSLS) for Tasmanian workers in aged care, community services, disability support, early childhood, contract cleaning and security services.
For too long, workers in these industries who have had to change employers - often outside of their choice - have been disadvantaged by losing their Long Service Leave entitlements. It's time these workers have a PLSLS like most of their colleagues in other states do and like construction workers in Tasmania, who have had it for many years.

Why is this important?
A PLSL scheme means that a worker's LSL entitlements follow them between different employers within the same sector, rather than an employee having to start from zero every time they move employment.
Unions have been campaigning a PLSLS for workers in certain industries for a long time.
Please sign the petition, share it on socials and encourage your colleagues, family members and friends to sign it too.
