Last night, we were honoured to host Independent MP Alex Greenwich at this month's Labor Council.
Alex spoke to the housing challenges that essential workers are facing today and the need for legislative targets to deliver a variety of housing solutions for essential workers.

This country was built on the labour of migrants why would we turn our backs on them now in a skills crisis? They are the union members we need!

Today is National Equal Pay Day! 50 days after the end of the financial year, as this represents the additional days needed to work to make up for the gender pay gap in Australia 😳 Here's a couple of myth busters for @TeachersFed members.

"Unions NSW...gave the example of one case where an insurer spent $85,000 of public money to fight a $5,000 knee surgery that a worker’s doctor said she needed. The tribunal ultimately approved the surgery." https://t.co/5Kn0vXMznr

[Teachers Federation @TeachersFed]

As we get ready to kick off this year’s Annual Confernce, Deputy President @AFlohm penned an opinion piece for today’s Illawarra Mercury. It comes with a message for the NSW government, “NSW teachers deserve safety at work and a safety net when they're harmed. The question is whether the NSW Government will listen and act. Our teachers - and our students - deserve better”

5. New Accountability for the Work Health and Safety Regulator:
Workers and unions will have new powers to hold the workplace safety regulator to account to ensure they uphold their responsibility to enforce safe working conditions.

[Unions NSW @unionsnsw]

3. New powers to stop workplace bullying & harassment:
Public sector and local government workers will have a new legal process for public sector and local government workers to seek orders through the IRC to stop workplace bullying and sexual harassment.

[Unions NSW @unionsnsw]

4. Supporting injured workers to return to work safely:
Injured workers will have new rights to dispute being forced to return to work when it is unsafe to do so – giving them a stronger path to enforce fair treatment after injury.

[Unions NSW @unionsnsw]

2. New enforceable workplace safety rights:
Workers will have stronger tools to hold employers accountable for unsafe workplaces. The Bill makes it mandatory to meet or exceed safety codes of practice and allows for employers to be prosecuted for unsafe workplaces.

[Unions NSW @unionsnsw]

The changes include:
1. Enshrining Gender Equity and safer workplaces in local government and the NSW public sector:
The Industrial Relations Act will include gender equity and stopping bullying and sexual harassment as core objectives.

[Unions NSW @unionsnsw]

UNION WIN: Changes to the Industrial Relations Act strengthening work, health and safety laws have passed Parliament. NSW workers have won the biggest increase in working rights in over 30 years.
