Young Labor for Full Employment

A group of Young Labor members working to commit the ALP to full employment and a jobs guarantee.

[Young Labor for Full Employment @YL4Jobs]

As a group of Young Labor members from across Australia, we want the Australian Labor Party to adopt a full employment agenda with a jobs guarantee, bringing the unemployment and underemployment rate down all while addressing the greatest issues of our times. (1)

[Ed Cavanough @edwardcavanough]

So many Australians are being nudged away from once-secure jobs and pushed into long-term unemployment, which is now the worst it has been in my lifetime.

Permanent (secure) jobs are a threat to the shock doctrine of job insecurity and precarity: suppressing wages by keeping workers in fear of unemployment, too afraid to stand up for rights, voice and pay at work. We need #SecureJobs first on our agenda. @ak_pennington

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

Good morning to everyone except Scott Morrison who has changed the laws to make it easier for employers to turn permanent reliable jobs into casual, unreliable jobs.

[Melissa Donnelly @DonnellyMel]

Great contribution from @jennymcallister.

After years of Coalition job cuts and outsourcing, great to hear about Labor's better approach- no staffing cap, respecting the independence of the public service and acting as a model employer providing job security

We will be turning up the 🔥🔥🔥for secure jobs https://t.co/o1NVbQIyTD

[Michele O'Neil @MicheleONeilAU]

Workers are taking up the fight for job security. This is an issue for every union and workers taking action have movement wide support. https://t.co/3wZGWfcLny

The insecure work crisis is pushing transport workers to the very brink - you can't plan ahead for you and your family on an insecure contract.

We must end the race to the bottom and protect the good, secure jobs & conditions workers rely on. #auspol

[Centre for Future Work @CntrFutureWork]

Here's fine coverage by @Paul_Karp of our report in @GuardianAus: https://t.co/E5nf6Pm9Ad. It shows casual workers earn median hourly wages 26% lower than permanent (despite supposed 'loadings' supposed to compensate them for lack of basic entitlements). ...5

“The worst employment impacts of the pandemic were experienced by those already in relatively insecure, lower-income circumstances.” #auspol

The idea Australia should ride global infection train to prove we're not insular or racist is seriously foolish. Poor nations w weak health systms in much worse position if West helps cultivate new variants. We must stop transmission on our shores & ramp up global vax effort.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Full employment means more people in jobs, more people getting the hours they need, and a better future for all Australians.
