Holden's proud 100-year history in Australia crashes after less than a decade of LNP federal government. It has no plan for Australian manufacturing or care for many thousands that work in this vital industry. The LNP's track record is shameful. @AMWUQldNT @unionsaustralia

[The AMWU @theamwu]

Holden’s 100 year history in Australia was snuffed out in less than a decade by the Liberal Government.

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

Morrison claims fundamentals of economy are strong. Tell that to workers who cannot get enough hours and the unemployed who have no chance of a job.

[Centre for Future Work @CntrFutureWork]

Reposting our comparison of Coalition budget wage forecasts vs reality. Today's #MYEFO admits "strengthening in wage growth will be more gradual than previously expected." Actually, MYEFO doesn't project *any* strengthening: 2.5% for 2 yrs. Give up hope, workers who enter here.

Scott Morrison and the Liberals have:

✂️ cut billions from schools

✂️ cut billions from TAFE & apprenticeships

✂️ cut billions from universities

They're cutting our future. #qanda

[Mark Bailey MP @MarkBaileyMP]

In Maryborough Premier @AnnastaciaMP just announced with Bruce Saunders @Putmaryborough1 a $300 million pipeline of manufacturing work til 2030 in signed MOU for @downergroup Maryborough Rail workshop. Labor backs local manufacturing jobs vs @LNPQLD had NGR trains made overseas

"the right wing ratchet has trained us to feel poor all the time b/c every time things pick up we impoverish ourselves by cutting taxes. It's a great strategy if you want to cut taxes, it's a terrible strategy if you want to build a country" - Richard Denniss @RDNS_TAI #auspol

[Senator Murray Watt @MurrayWatt]

Too many QLD miners have died on the job – it’s tragic and unacceptable. This week the Senate supported our motion backing the Palaszczuk Govt’s expansion of industrial manslaughter laws to hold negligent companies to account for mining deaths. QLD LNP needs to support this too.

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

Scott Morrison has reintroduced his union-busting bill back into parliament.

Will you join with us and defeat it again?

[AMWU Qld & NT @AMWUQldNT]

Qhealth maintenance workers have marched on 1 William St to demand investment in secure jobs and apprenticeships for workers in hospital building, engineering and maintenance departments!

[AMWU Qld & NT @AMWUQldNT]

Qhealth maintenance workers are on a 24hr work stoppages across QLD to protest a lack of job security, lack of apprentices and to put a stop to sham contracting. These workers keep out hospitals safe and running, they just want some respect.

[CFMEU QLD/NT @CFMEUQNT]

Queensland Health maintenance workers from combined unions assembling to demand meaningful negotiations on job security, apprenticeships and ending sham contracting. #ausunions

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

Never underestimate working people.

[Michele O'Neil @MicheleONeilAU]

I want to thank every single union member who fought with such strength & determination to defeat the Ensuring Integrity Bill. You were magnificent.

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

Thank you @JacquiLambie for voting to defeat the Ensuring Integrity Bill and standing up for all the people who would have been hurt by it. You listened and you acted, we thank you.

[Senator Nita Green @nitagreenqld]

This is a win for every union member that told their story and spoke to Senators about why this was so important.

The Government with No Integrity has been stopped from hurting workers.

[The AMWU @theamwu]

Sorry can’t come in tomorrow, we’re busy blasting “There Is Power in a Union” and eating celebratory chippies #EnsuringIntegrity

[Finance Sector Union @FSU_Australia]

@AustralianLabor , @GreensMPs , @PaulineHansonOz , @MRobertsQLD , @JacquiLambie we all won today. Thank you.

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

Great to see further attacks on Australian workers defeated. There must be a big story behind the anti union One Nation helping to defeat the government. Watch this space!
