Gig transport workers under pressure to work long hours, and under threat of being unfairly sacked from platforms, urgently need minimum standards.

“I have been working as a food delivery driver for 5 years but I don’t know how I’m being paid. I’ve been deactivated for not accepting enough orders. Gig companies say it’s flexible, but flexible for whom?” - @oannbn

Defence needs $4.1bn for missiles? ✅
Defence needs $368bn for subs? ✅
Defence needs public housing? ✅

Increase JobSeeker, lift people out of poverty? ❌
Pay rise for care workers? ❌
Building new public housing? ❌

It doesn't make sense to us either.

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

"The wages crisis will not be fixed unless workers have a modern collective bargaining system that gives them the ability to win fair pay rises"
