Bosses at Opal have locked out their production workers at the Maryvale Paper Mill in Victoria who just want a fairer deal at work.

Solidarity to the members of the manufacturing division of the CFMEU ✊

The Albanese Govt passed 4 pieces of legislation & 25 measures to fix it. Now:
- wage increases are the highest in 15 years
- real wages are now growing
- we have a record number of permanent jobs
- the gender pay gap is the smallest ever
- Workers share of the GDP is rising

The AMWU has a long and proud history of representing the interests of the working class

We do not shy away from militancy in the union movement — that is our power

But there is no place in our movement for self interest, corruption, or criminal and violent behaviour

Throw us a like if you think we should make things here 👇🏽🛠️⚓️🏭⚙️🔬📚

[The AMWU @theamwu]

Striking @SaputoInc workers from Tasmania have rallied at the diary giant’s Aussie HQ in Melbourne to launch a national boycott campaign targeting Saputo and its biggest clients Woolworths and Coles. We call on the community to boycott Saputo products! Mainland wage rates now!

[The AMWU @theamwu]

What a victory for all of us and the generations to come ✊

[Steve Murphy ✊ @Murphy_Steve]

As we gain significant ground in the global race for the jobs of the future, Peter Dutton want to put us in the pits.

Denying action on climate change, denies manufacturing workers a secure future.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

We’re investing in the infrastructure, technology and clean energy to create good secure jobs and strengthen our economy.

[Steve Murphy ✊ @Murphy_Steve]

.@theamwu has been campaigning for ‘Support Aussie Made’

@AlboMP’s announcement of a ‘Future Made in Australia’ delivers the biggest industrial policy shift in our lifetime

We move from ‘if’ we will make things here, to ‘how’ we will make things here

[Steve Murphy ✊ @Murphy_Steve]

Australia is confronted by a climate & jobs crisis

Today @theamwu and CANA launched our report into renewable energy opportunities - showing the pathway to climate action & job creation

Australia can be more than a quarry, a farm & a nice place to visit

We can make it here

[Steve Murphy ✊ @Murphy_Steve]

Today @AlboMP announced a ‘Future made in Australia’

Government is stepping up to create #Manufacturing jobs in #renewable energy industries

Good unionised jobs for the #workers who have powered our economy & regions for generations

This is leadership

Aid workers are the bravest of heroes, going in to the unknown and the unsafe in support of their fellow humans. Zomi Frankcom is a hero. My solidarity and sympathies are with her family and the entire Australian aid community. Ceasefire now. Peace now. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

[Steve Murphy ✊ @Murphy_Steve]

Imagine having a PM that recognises there is a new problem, listens to those who are impacted, considers the facts and the current situation and is prepared to adapt, change or reconsider a path.

#CostOfLivingCrisis #Stage3 #workers

[Steve Murphy ✊ @Murphy_Steve]

Workers understand the unfairness of the #Stage3 tax cuts

The conversations in lunchrooms and over our kitchen tables right now are about the #CostOfLiving really hurting & that workers are struggling

A tax plan developed in 2019 is no longer fit for the reality of 2024

[The AMWU @theamwu]

You're looking at the AMWU National Conference, our union's highest decision-making body, in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people asking for a Voice. Because we make better decisions when we listen to people. It's that simple. #VoiceToParliament #Yes23

[Thomas Mayo @thomasmayo23]

The only fighting I’m doing is for a better future for all Australians, using words, patience, understanding and acts of love and solidarity.

I want this to go viral: I’m sending my heartfelt thanks to all who are helping to make this possible by deciding to vote ‘Yes’ with us.
