Just weeks before Christmas, CSR Gyprock in Yarraville has forced its workers into a ridiculous, costly and pointless pay dispute.

Stand with CSR workers taking action for a fairer deal!

There’s a myth around that “young people don’t get/join Unions”. But close to 1000 casino workers have joined @UnitedWorkersOz in the last month - and almost half (45%) of these new members are 25yo or younger!

This is horrible.

Nurses working in Covid testing facilities & treating patients on wards are some of best humans we know.

They have sacrificed much to keep us safe.

Our love to his family & workmates.

Everyone should be safe at work.

Devastating.

The almost 100% use of labour hire by Amazon in Oz coupled with Australia’s collapsed collective barg laws is creating an underclass in Oz. Burnout by design? Warehouse and shipping workers pay the hidden cost of the holiday season https://t.co/Djw1xzudos via @ConversationEDU

@unionsaustralia Hey @PaulFletcherMP have you ever met any labour hire casuals?

We’ve got thousands in our Union who will tell you this is THE most important issue to them.

Improved wages change lives.

[Australian Unions @unionsaustralia]

Liberal Minister Paul Fletcher arrogantly dismissed the daily reality of tens of thousands of ripped-off labour hire workers when he said Same Job, Same Pay was a "made up issue" in parliament yesterday. #auspol

Good vibes this morning at the Country Road strike. 🎶

Well done to these gutsy members on a hard fought victory after 12 days on strike. They’ve secured 20 permanent jobs, the $1 an hour pay rise they were after, good Union rights and more.

BREAKING: COUNTRY ROAD WORKERS WIN!

Workers met this morning & voted to accept a new offer which included:
- 13.3% across EBA incl. backpay.
- 20 new permanent jobs.
- site rates for casuals.
- new union rights & recognition.

Well done Country Road Group workers! #ausunions

[Senator Jess Walsh @JessWalshVic]

This morning I was proud to stand with these amazing @CountryRoad warehouse workers - on strike for NINE days.

Mostly women, they are paid up to $10 per hour less than men doing the same work!

You can stand with them too here:

@CountryRoad workers are standing up! #countryrogue https://t.co/JJGywIcW5q @UnitedWorkersOz

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

And even MORE of the strike action: Mt Gambier Prison staff in South Australia walk off the job due to safety concerns, lack of fair pay. Staff and supporters took their protests to the road! #saparli @unionsaustralia @SAUnions

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Mathematicians of Twitter, can you help us out? Country Road increased profits by 44% last year and got $25 million in JobKeeper, yet an extra $1 an hour for their workers is apparently not possible.

Doesn't add up, does it?

We’re down joining the Country Road @UnitedWorkersOz workers at the fashion event of the year

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Angry workers have made a fashion statement in a protest outside David Jones as part of their dispute with Country Road. https://t.co/5zYfOfohG3 #7NEWS

[Husain ALQatari @Halqatari]

@CountryRoad. Your loyal staff have contributed to your record profits this year. Please respect your staff by paying them a livable wage. #Australia

[United Workers Union @UnitedWorkersOz]

@tmorello Great album! Any chance we can use your song "Hold the line" for a video? Our warehouse members at Toll in Australia are about to go on strike and they are holding the line 💪

[Tom Morello @tmorello]

Hell yes.

[Jason Clare MP @JasonClareMP]

Wow. Only 20% of aged care workers have received 1 or 2 doses of the vaccine 💉

This is a debacle.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

Today we asked the Prime Minister if he took responsibility for the complete failure that is the COVIDSafe app. Watch him refuse to take responsibility for even answering the question.

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

On Friday 21 May, students, young workers and unionists will be getting together for the Melbourne Climate Strike — and we want you to join us.
