25.01.2022 EXPOSED: No COVID testing on arrival and only one testing site for Truck Drivers entering Tasmania from Victoria. The one and only free site Truck Drivers can be tested is none other than Pathology Australia, the same company that donated $200,000 to the Tasmanian Liberals. The Tasmanian Liberals have some serious questions to answer. ... Senator Catryna Bilyk Senator Helen Polley Senator Carol Brown Senator Jacqui Lambie Rebecca White MP
23.01.2022 Transport workers are some of the toughest people around but even that doesn't stop us from being vulnerable. Ask your workmates today - are you okay? #RUOK?
21.01.2022 Well said Graham, baggage handler at Sydney airport. We will be with you all the way on this fight.
21.01.2022 Flashback Monday! Check out this shoot from what was then the Central Bus Garage in Fitzroy North. The garage might look a bit different to current Transdev drivers based in Fitzroy! ... #TWUPROUD See more

17.01.2022 BUSTED! Linfox managers are crying poor. In a complete lack of respect for the essential workers moving this country, managers at some sites have been very busy using Covid-19 as a shifty opportunity to give hero truckies a pay cut. This is shocking behaviour and we are fighting back. ... Share and tell your mates, Transport workers are essential and Linfox should show some respect!
16.01.2022 Simple as that. Share if you agree.
14.01.2022 Transport workers are the bread and butter of this country. Tag a transport worker and say thanks.

11.01.2022 LIVE: Qantas workers are at Parliament House calling for 2,500 Qantas jobs to be saved, not outsourced
10.01.2022 A little insight into the Qantas Board stripping workers of their livelihoods. Ahh yes, the 'Spirit of Australia'.
09.01.2022 We do not want to see a repeat of the difficulties truck drivers experienced when they entered NSW from Victoria a few months ago after the border shut," Victorian-Tasmanian branch secretary John Berger said.
09.01.2022 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
09.01.2022 DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL and Tassie's border testing for truckies proves this. The lack of transparency in terms of testing of Victorian truckies coming across the Strait (on the Spirit, Toll and Searoads Ship) leaves us wondering - what is the Tasmanian Liberals + Peter Gutwein's plan to give truckies and communities peace of mind?

07.01.2022 Their fight is our fight. Sending solidarity to Maritime Union of Australia - MUA Wharfies fighting for fair pay and conditions today at the Fair Work Commission.
04.01.2022 THE FACES OF THE QANTAS BOARD HURTING FAMILIES Qantas, under guidance from the Board, want to sack thousands of Aussie workers. The aviation industry is riddled with companies like Swissport who has spent 4 long years fighting its own workers in lengthy court battles to continue to rip them off with appalling wages and conditions. In fact, Swissport is the mob that has been exposed over workers forced to sleep at airports because of low rates & split shifts. ... Alan Joyce must resign. Share to say it’s unfair.
03.01.2022 If this pandemic has shown us anything - it is that Qantas is one step ahead of other companies when it comes to ripping workers from work. Alan Joyce was the first major company to stand down thousands of workers, now the next step in his plan to line his pockets further is to outsource 2500 Aussie jobs. Here is their story --
01.01.2022 Alan Joyce is a grub. For the entirety of his time as CEO of Qantas, he has had plans to axe thousands upon thousands of Aussie ground handling jobs. SHAME!
01.01.2022 Simple math tells you who needs to go - and it isn't 2500 Aussie baggage handlers!
