@angijones @unionsaustralia @salltweets I never saw you and ran the other way. I have no idea who you are

@Cherie1975Rules @TMoose66 @gitoutavet @TraceySpicer Don’t lie @Cherie1975Rules I have never done that and that not even possible and I have never had a workplace where ppl left after an EBA. Who needs bots when ppl will happily lie?

@normboy562 Thank you

24 000 people soak up half the capital gains tax benefits. They are also rich & powerful. Right now they are having an almighty meltdown because they have to pay the same tax rate as the rest of us.

@CuntEastw00d Actually, union membership has grown. Have a nice day 💐

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

Can guarantee this won’t end well for them

[Tam @PokerWitch]

@sallymcmanus Honestly, these were the worst years in my career. Had it not been for the fabulous CPSU, we would have lost all the hard fought gains of our predecessors. Work choices was a disgrace.

After dragging this wage theft case out for years Monash University are finally set to pay what they owe - and more!

The actions of @Macquarie_Uni are deplorable. They have also been dragged in front of Fair Work. The @NTEUnion uncovered they decided to go “all the way” in forcing 65 highly skilled ppl out of work when they could have achieved their objectives without this pain

[NTEU @NTEUnion]

📰BREAKING📰

SafeWork NSW has stepped in to force Macquarie University to make work health and safety improvements to their consultation on proposed workplace changes.

These failures reveal a wider governance problem made visible thanks to @NTEUNSW members at MQ from the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science and Engineering who spoke out about the harm of workplace changes to staff mental health and wellbeing.

Dave is marching Sunday because Indian shops have transformed his suburb and replaced "Australian culture".

He wandered the local shopping strip, pointing out the invasion.

I dug a bit. Let me show you the loss of "Australian culture" he’s mourning.

And another reminder: working longer has NOTHING to do with productivity, which measures output PER HOUR. See our @CntrFutureWork report that debunks this employer BS about productivity: https://t.co/GHUEuuviX7

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

@murraysewerrat Congrats!

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

Gerry Harvey was just asked if workers sould benefit from productivity gains by moving towards a four-day week.
His response: — “No, no, no they need an eight-day week to lift productivity”.
A reminder: Australians work some of the longest hours in the OECD.

When Tim Wilson says he wants to “simplify” workers rights he means he wants to take them away @InsidersABC @David_Speers

“Australia can no longer rely on comparative advantage in our raw materials but should instead create competitive advantage in global & domestic value chains” @abcnews My take on govt coinvestment in new #smelter technologies https://t.co/Aha98Pfb9N @ayrestim @AuManufacturing

Because everyone should pay their fair share of tax and at the moment many big businesses and many very wealth ppl are not

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]
