Thanks to all the activists in NSW who helped fund this billboard. Shame on this government for cutting public sector workers pay in the midst of a pandemic #StopTheNSWWageCut

Jaswinder's a station manager & @RTBUnion member. He says his favourite part of his job is making passengers smile. His msg for the Fed Government: “Be there to support those who have pulled the country forward during this pandemic. Do not forget us when it’s done” #ForTheWorkers

Fundamental change is needed in aged care with the quality of care and the rights of older Australians at its centre, not the profits of providers. https://t.co/nYWrlam5ii

Investing in TAFE creates more than four times the amount of tax revenue than it costs to run TAFE. No brainer!

[Alison Pennington @ak_pennington]

Fine piece by @euanblackwrites (w graphs!) on our new study showing historic investment in TAFE deliver $92.5B economic benefits p/yr. $Bs wasted on inefficient, uncoordinated private VET market thats failed workers, biz & govt. We need to rebuild TAFE! https://t.co/JHgVWIAjsG

Mary-Louise McLaws is a world-renowned epidemiologist who has been a valued guide for many throughout this crisis. She agrees with all of us - nurses and cleaners are heroes. We can never thank them enough.

Public sector unions in WA support the McGowan Government's changes to Worker's Comp laws for COVID-19 related claims.

This isn't just money down the drain, it's also a drain on public sector capacity and services for all. "Big Four consultancy firms receive $640m a year to perform ‘day-to-day’ public service jobs" https://t.co/h2CcOmPI7A

[The Public Good @ThePublicGoodWA]

Exactly! Public sector investment along with strong wages and decent conditions will help us bridge the age and gender gaps created by the gas and infrastructure led 'tradies recovery'.

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

“You can't cut your way to recovery. Australian workers know this...Young people are already hardest hit, along with women and we cannot pass watered-down rights to the next generation” @sallymcmanus #ausunions #auspol #SON2020

"Recent research on impacts of the NSW government's proposed public sector wage freeze shows over 1100 jobs will be lost from workers' lower consumption."

[Alison Pennington @ak_pennington]

An economy where private investment is on strike never "snaps back". Its reconfigured to give smaller # of biz more power & misery for rest of us. In my op-ed @newcastleherald I argue govt must break investment gridlock & learn lessons of history #auspol
