And then they want young people to take MORE out of their super for a plan that will only increase house prices! Utter madness.

BREAKING NEWS: Union membership is growing in Australia! Research just released from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a growth of 160,000 new union members since 2022.

HUGE breaking news for apprentices across Victoria. After a huge campaign by young workers, the Victorian Government has agreed to crucial reforms that will help us BAN BAD BOSSES! #springst https://t.co/C3TZpsos0p

[James Lea @James_A_Lea]

These reforms have been years in the making, following extensive campaigning and advocacy by apprentices, unions and the YWC. I'm very proud to have been involved, and very glad the government is taking steps to protect our apprentices. #springst

“Victorian apprentices can be proud that today we are one step closer to winning justice and safe workplaces for all apprentices.”

Well, reading between the lines, it looks as if Black Star Pastry has been formally told to suck a bag of farts. Great work Ella, Lucy and @YWCVictoria!

Ella and Lucy demonstrated peaceful solidarity with Palestine, which resulted in them losing their livelihood.
The YWC is proud to stand with Ella and Lucy in reaching this outcome.

No one should have to work a second job whilst doing their apprenticeship.

We need to end discriminatory junior wages, so young people like Helena get a fair go. #FairWagesAllAges

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Helena worked a second job to make ends meet while she did her apprenticeship. It wasn’t enough. @YWCVictoria #Melbourne #mediarelease https://t.co/WIqw3RqpEX

We're announcing a campaign to end discriminatory junior wages! #FairWagesAllAges #auspol #AusUnions

Media event: Campaign blitz to end junior rates. 10am Outside Prahran Town Hall - release: https://t.co/NyPm2ZX9vC #

Clearly Dutton has been caught up in the recent Fallout revival, and like most hard right conservatives completely missed the satire.

We've got better solutions to the energy crisis than turning goannas into Deathclaws.

[We Are Union Women @VicUnions_Women]

Union activists are sick and tired of companies that are more concerned with protecting their brand, than protecting their workers from sexual harassment and toxic cultures. Act on gendered violence or women will speak up in solidarity and come for your brand.

These WorkCover changes are a damned disgrace.

A complete gutting, and betray of workers everywhere.

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Throwing injured workers to the wolves is not the answer. Scrap these WorkCover changes, start again, and try ACTUALLY consulting with workers next time.

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Victorian workers aren't just angry, but upset about the impact of Labor's proposed WorkCover changes in our community. #springst

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

"This proposal is giving off serious Liberal/conservative vibes" #springst

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

WorkCover saves lives. These changes will only hurt vulnerable Victorian workers. #springst

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

'...there were “serious concerns” from caucus about the legislation, how it was handled & the fact no unions appeared to support the bill. “Unions have been actively contacting MPs about this issue. That has rattled caucus members” they said.' #springst https://t.co/Yawu1PT0Bm

[Victorian Trades Hall Council @VicUnions]

Real workers have had a gutful of the Victorian Government trying to pretend these WorkCover changes aren't terrible news for Victorians. Scrap the bill and start again @DannyPearsonMP. #springst
