HMAS Parramatta - the final ship in the Anzac Midlife Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP) – recently had its new mast installed, as the 8-year upgrade program nears completion. It's the 8th mast manufactured by us at the Henderson shipyard.

Well done to the ASFU federation unions

[The AMWU @theamwu]

The AMWU has been fighting for its members and now BAE Systems has back paid its workers in response to a South Australian Employment Tribunal ruling in an underpayment test case.

289 workers will now receive $424,370 in back payments. Well done to all those involved!

As we gain significant ground in the global race for the jobs of the future, Peter Dutton want to put us in the pits.

Denying action on climate change, denies manufacturing workers a secure future.

[The AMWU @theamwu]

AMWU members at ASC in South Australia have walked off the job this morning for better pay. Despite being the only team in the country that can perform critical deep maintenance on Collins Class submarines, the workers are paid around 17% less than their WA counterparts.

World class engineering and a highly skilled workforce 👏👏👏@IndustriALL_GU @BAESystemsAus @theamwu @AWUnion @ProfsAustralia @ETU_national

You're looking at Block 03, our first prototype keel block for the Hunter Class Frigate Program!

This is the first block to undergo blast and paint activity in confined spaces, where additional control measures were introduced and new paints were used for the first time.

Making things here is good for workers, industries and our communities.

Thank you @DavidPocock for deciding to support the Secure Jobs Better Pay Bill. It will make a real difference for millions of working Australians and their families who are struggling now and have waited for so long for fair pay rises.

Brendan O'Connor on shipbuilding and defence assets: You manufacture it here. That’s a defence asset in itself, sovereign capability. #NPC #auspol

[Dale Beasley @DaleBeas]

Hey @ScottMorrisonMP we haven't forgotten how you promised SA a sub building jobs bonanza after you trashed the Naval Group contract. Did you lie to SA like you did to @EmmanuelMacron?
