18.01.2022 On this day, the 15th of October in 1970, Melbourne's West Gate Bridge collapsed, claiming the life of 35 workers.

13.01.2022 Great to hear Victoria will invest $5.3b on social housing construction over next 4 years. Will build homes for thousands of people, create construction jobs and boost the economy. The Federal Government needs to step up. https://www.theage.com.au//this-will-change-lives-5-3-bill
12.01.2022 Today’s video comes from Dr Gerry Ayres, Health and Safety Manager for the Vic-Tas Branch. The various workplace health and safety legislation around the country requires an employer to provide a work environment that is without risk to health and safety. Gendered violence is a workplace hazard like any other, and should be controlled just the same.... If you want better protections around violence and harassment in the workplace, sign and share our petition calling on the Federal Government to ratify the Convention, and recognise every worker’s right to be free from all forms of violence and harassment at work.

11.01.2022 Scott Morrison gets $1,623.63 in super each week. He gets $84,584.50 in super every year. He wants to freeze everyone else's super at 9.5%. For a construction labourer on the award that's $95.32.
11.01.2022 Ten percent super is already law. Scott Morrison wants to break his promise, take away the legislated increase and cheat workers out of super they have already earned. It's just more wage theft from Scott Morrison.

09.01.2022 NSW Finance Minister Damien Tudehope, writing in the AFR this week claimed that "Union extortion ransoms jobs". As an experience criminal lawyer, who has represented clients accused of very serious crimes, he should know better than to lightly throw around accusations such as extortion. Indeed, you’d hope he understands the law around these matters more clearly than his apparent understanding of how wage growth and productivity works in the construction industry.

09.01.2022 Measures in the Federal Budget aimed at encouraging businesses to take on apprentices and new workers will do nothing to stem the declining completion rates of apprenticeships and could open the door to job losses and the exploitation of younger workers. https://cg.cfmeu.org//apprentice-hiring-schemes-create-rec

All workers have the right to be free from all forms of violence and harassment at home and at work.
