19.01.2022 In just 3 days, two UberEats riders have been tragically killed at work. This brings the total number of food delivery riders who have been killed at work in the last 3 months to five. The gig economy is literally killing workers. Without health and safety rights, insurance and a living wage riders are forced into working quickly rather than safely over long hours to pay their bills and buy groceries.... Platforms like UberEats are getting away with turning a blind eye to the health and safety of their workers and the Federal Government is washing its hands of responsibility and putting it on State governments to take action alone. Sign this joint YWC and Transport Workers Union - TWU petition calling on Christian Porter, Federal Industrial Relations Minister, to enforce fairr and safer working conditions in the gig economy: https://www.megaphone.org.au//enough-is-enough-stop-gig-wo

15.01.2022 Airline workers were the early heroes of the pandemic and are now being unnecessarily targeted by the Liberal party. The Liberal Party continue to be completely out of touch with the realities facing the community and stood down airline workers. The Liberal Opposition sit in the comfort and safety of their own homes while attacking innocent airline workers that are undertaking vital work through the hotel quarantine program, speaks volumes to their hypocrisy. Hopeless O’Bri...en will be better served calling out his liberal counterparts in Canberra on why they again failed to deliver relief for the struggling airline industry in tonight’s Federal Budget. Innocent workers like the thousands of Dnata workers left out of the JobKeeper scheme or the thousands of Qantas workers sacked by a company who just stole millions from taxpayers continue to demand answers.
