Australia is taking the lead on Safe Rates!

The road transport sector faced a major safety problem - 983 lives were lost on Australian roads between 2017-2022. The rise of gig economy platforms has further eroded safety standards and working conditions.

Zhuoying is one of the bravest workers I've met.

She's a delivery rider for Hungry Panda—the company retaliated and stopped giving her orders when she organised a protest for safety and fairness.

She's struggled financially since, but still stood up today for justice.

Fantastic brave gig workers joining the convoy for transport reform. Gig workers deserve rights. Time for parliament to act and pass these laws #auspol #ausunions

[International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) @ITFglobalunion]

Great to welcome representatives from unions across the globe to our Road Transport Section Steering Committee meeting in Tokyo.

At the meeting, we recommitted support for the ITF's drive for safe rates, and sent a message of solidarity to @TWUAus's #TransformReform campaign

Great to see Dr Michael Rawling supporting #transportreform. Love the poster Michael!

This morning at the inquiry into the 'Closing Loopholes' IR Bill, we heard from gig workers about the conditions they face and the dangers that exist for drivers and riders trying to make ends meet. This driver was very clear about why he supports the proposed changes.

@PregnantScrewed Jack slams the ‘flexibility’ of the platform economy as this: “The flexibility to kill workers without being held accountable.”

[International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) @ITFglobalunion]

Jack reads out the names of just some of the platform workers who have been killed while working in Australia since 2020. “Most of these dead workers were young workers, but do you know what they all had in common? Every single one of them was a migrant worker. Is this the inclusive environment that platforms are providing migrant workers?”

Our hearts are with Scott's loved ones. With no system to provide entitlements, gig workers are incredibly vulnerable with no minimum wage, workers’ compensation, or protections from unfair deactivation.

Things have got to change.
