So proud to be a member of this mighty union.

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

Over the weekend we were proud to march with our #LGBTQIA+ members, officials and allies for International Trans Day of Visibility.

Here are some snaps from the Sydney and Melbourne rallies. Please, if you have any pics - share them with us!

UWU STATEMENT:

To our #LGBTQIA+ members, officials, friends and communities: we stand with you.

Over the past week, all of us at UWU have been deeply disturbed by the hate we've witnessed against the trans community.

@darkob76 @10NewsFirstSyd @RealMarkLatham In summary: I highly recommend reading up on what the real nazis did first, lest you risk looking like a fool for claiming that they people nazis chucked in concentration camps were, in fact, the real nazis. Bit awks.

[AL @UnionSlug]

@darkob76 @10NewsFirstSyd @RealMarkLatham ...Might need to brush up on your history there, champ.

The Nazis specifically targeted gays for persecution.

Nazis:
- arrested 100,000 gays;
- imprisoned 50,000 gays;
- interned 5,000 - 15,000 gays in concentration camps.

Can we please get a denouncement of last night's attacks on the 15 peaceful LGBTQI+ protestors in your electorates, @jasonyatsenli & @Tony_Burke?

As you said of your constituents in 2017, Tony - "if I'm willing to defend them as minorities, I can't pick and choose."

Reminder that two thirds of the $254 billion Stage 3 tax cuts will go to men. $254 billion could fund the construction of enough public homes to clear the waitlists (majority women and children), bring back the single parents pension (which Labor cut) & introduce free childcare.

@WorkWatch4 @UnitedWorkersOz @billybragg @Coles Their solidarity is so intersectional. Imagine attacking other women... for.... feminism?

[AL @UnionSlug]

@UnitedWorkersOz @billybragg @Coles LOL at all the people claiming @billybragg is a misogynist... apparently because he stood up for transwomen & sex workers?!

Sex work is real work, and transwomen are women. TERFS & SWERFS need to get a new hobby.

In a devastating blow to my microbiome, turns out broccolini = hectic exploitation of farm workers.

@woolworths @coles could set ethical standards for companies in their supply chain, but... nah. Too hard.

Happy international working womens day, ladies!

[Dan Tehan @DanTehanWannon]

The Australian flag flying above Parliament House has a gaping hole in it. We should have pride in our flag and I hope the Prime Minister @AlboMP will fix this

[AL @UnionSlug]

Thank you @TUNSW for your tireless work & brilliant policy contributions to improve the lives of renters in NSW. The ban on no grounds evictions will change thousands of lives for the better.
Haven't heard of the Tenants Union? This report is a great intro https://t.co/vbYmhuYfle

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

Goodman Fielder/Pampas workers taking the fight to supposedly ethical @Zambrero - more like #scambreros !

Across the country solidarity actions are taking place calling on them to act on their ethical image and intervene in this exploitation in their supply chain. #PayUpPampas

[April Cumming @Aprilcumming2]

Can’t be an ethical company if your supply chain is exploiting workers! @Zambrero tell #Pampas to pay workers fairly #PayUpPampas

[AL @UnionSlug]

Hey @Zambrero - just noticed a couple of typos on your homepage (in the "Feel Good Mex" section).

Could you please update & better inform your customers of *ALL* of the awesome work you're doing to support people in need?

Kthx!

[AL @UnionSlug]

TFW companies like @Zambrero loudly proclaim all the Social Good they're doing as their point of difference...

...Then condone low pay & insecure work in their supply chains by giving $$ to companies exploiting workers.

Seems fine.

@Latecomers_TV: brilliant, nuanced, quick-witted, gut-punching & full of heart.
This show gets so many things so right.

Big nod to the treatment of sex work & sex workers in #Latecomers too. SW's have agency & respect in this show. Fuck yes.

@scarletalliance @TouchingBaseInc

[Mark Dickenson @bugwannostra]

Put me in charge of Centrelink. Sack all the agencies. Get rid of Serco. Employ staff to help people. Give the clients the proceeds.
No more mutual obligation bullshit.
No demerit points.
No more suicides.
No fake debts.
Treat people with respect.
#auspol #thedrum Out with Hank!

We love to see it. With you all the way, @RTBUnion members.

@ZeroProphesy @ApostateXx @IdiotTracker @ej_leonard78 @Wolfie_Rankin *4 species!

[AL @UnionSlug]

@ZeroProphesy @ApostateXx @IdiotTracker @ej_leonard78 @Wolfie_Rankin Syd has blue lined octopuses (one of 3 subspecies). Spotted them plenty of times diving - particularly around Mosman. That said, they're quite shy & I've mostly sighted them at night.

We never talk about our cute animals, though! We also have pyjama squid. Cutest dumplings out.
