This #HumanRightsDay, BWI and its affiliates reaffirm a simple truth: workers’ rights are human rights. Protecting workers’ dignity and welfare isn’t optional , it’s the backbone of any just, progressive and democratic society.

What a soundtrack for household chores on a Sunday morning.
Jimmy Cliff is gone now; joining Fred “Toots” Hibbert, Desmond Dekker & many others who made the magic on this ska/reggae classic. I’ve been lucky to have owned a copy of this album since 1977.
May they all RIP

@KosSamaras Many in this demographic have little or no super due to years of casual employment/contracting (often sham) & widespread non payment of super by employers, enabled by pissweak compliance by ATO/regulators.
In physically arduous industries many don’t last until pension at 67.

RIP Jimmy Cliff. https://t.co/7gkKNVGeqM

[CFMEU WA @CFMEUWA]

Asbestos Awareness Week reminds us why the fight isn’t over.

Across worksites, homes and communities, asbestos is still out there - deadly, hidden, and unforgiving. The @CFMEUWA continues to lead the push for safer workplaces, tougher regulations, and the complete removal of asbestos from Australia’s built environment.

No worker should risk their life for a day’s pay.

No family should face the lifelong consequences of exposure.

Stay aware. Stay vigilant. Stay safe.

If you’re not sure if something is asbestos, get it checked before you start work. Be asbestos aware, for more visit:

BWI condemns the Israeli army’s violent raid on the PGFTU offices in Nablus, a blatant attack on Palestinian workers’ rights and freedom to organise. Trade union offices are not battlefields & military targets. We stand in full solidarity with PGFTU. #WorkersSolidarity

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Pursuing misdemeanor charges against @seiuusww & @seiucalifornia president David Huerta is a gross abuse of power by this administration. The 15 million members of the AFL-CIO stand shoulder to shoulder with David as he fights for justice. https://t.co/VjYKsla9Dt

BWI is alarmed by “claims” that Malaysia “vows to send observers” to the junta’s planned sham election.

We reiterate: this is no election, it’s a charade to be held under the barrel of a gun. We call on Malaysia to refute the reports.

BWI stands with the Indonesian workers & youth demanding dignity, accountability & decent work. Cosmetic “reforms” won’t mask low wages, rising prices & inequality. Real change, not band-aids, is what the people demand.

@PaddyBrennan81 Well of course!

@WestCoastEagles No he didn’t.

[Stephen Travers @MiamiShowband]

As a member of the slaughtered Catholic and Protestant band, from north and south, whose final, self-penned record was titled ‘Love Is’, my question to British politicians who insist that politics has no place in music is, Why didn’t you insist on that 50 years ago?#MiamiShowband
