I had a massive pumped up meeting of over 1000 union delegates tonight from around the country talking about why we need a change of government and what we are are all going to do to achieve it #ausvotes

Defects to NSW ferries show need to build them here #SupportAussieMade

[Australian Shipbuilding Federation Of Unions @ASFUnions]

Another Betrayal by @ScottMorrisonMP to dump on Australian shipbuilders. This government good on the spin but never delivers on commitments #auspol #ScottyfromMarketing @AWUnion @theamwu @ProfsAustralia @ETU_national

[The AMWU @theamwu]

The Brits think the nuclear-powered subs will be built there.

Defence are saying it’s likely the US.

Morrison says Adelaide.

How’s the Senate Inquiry hearing going?

You can’t be a tradesperson if you’ve never touched the tools.

I learned the craft of my trade from skilled #workers who knew all the tips and tricks to do the job safely.

Support the #AMWU campaign to keep #apprentices on the #tools

Check out our National Secretary @Murphy_Steve on ABC Radio speaking about the government’s $1.5 billion announcement for Australian manufacturing - now is the time to invest in our local industry https://t.co/OIyZLbNSrq #AustralianMade #makeithere #MakeItAustralian

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

They're right.

[Build Our Ships Here @buildourships]

@AEUfederal @theamwu TAFE is vital in the challenges of building a workforce for our future shipbuilding program. The @ScottMorrisonMP @Birmo government needs to put back the funding + more that they have ripped out of our TAFE system. A strong 💪 TAFE is vital in the #COVID19Aus recovery

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

We have been calling for paid pandemic leave since 11 March. It was obvious to us the huge risk of so many people having no sick leave during a pandemic. It's heartbreaking to see todays workplace transmission #insiders

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

It's not too late Scott Morrison. Australia needs paid pandemic leave now.

Email your MP and demand paid pandemic leave: https://t.co/8UdGstvLyg

[Sally McManus @sallymcmanus]

Sometimes things drive me crazy, like when a virus is being spread in workplaces by casual workers who don't have paid leave and the Federal Government does nothing about it. People are dying, jobs are being lost, infections are spreading. It's time for action!

[The AMWU @theamwu]

To rebuild Australian manufacturing we need the government to back in local workers and local businesses by buying Australian made. Check out this article by @TomMcIlroy for more of what AMWU National Secretary Paul Bastian has to say https://t.co/w9Pmn3w5Ts #auspol

Are you under an EBA? You need to watch this. Your employer can now give you 24 hours' notice to vote to change your agreement. What should you do? @sallymcmanus #ausunions #COVID19Aus

[The AMWU @theamwu]

We already knew it, but this crisis has highlighted - a strong local manufacturing industry is essential.

This morning Alan Joyce claimed 'every body is taking equal pain'. They're not. It's workers who are bearing the brunt. After millions in taxpayer support, the least Qantas can do is provide 2 weeks paid special leave and bring the maintenance schedule forward. The least.

[Australian Shipbuilding Federation Of Unions @ASFUnions]

Well done to the 🇦🇺 skilled workforce. A great look back on a world class program. The 3rd and final Air Warfare Distroyer @AWDAlliance handed over to the @Australian_Navy https://t.co/mqHEDrI1eR #auspol @AWUnion @theamwu @ETU_national @ProfsAustralia @ASFUnions
