Union activists have been all over the Prahran electorate this morning, talking with voters about how we're going to avoid a nuclear-powered Prahran by putting the Liberals last at the upcoming by-election! #springst
The Albanese Labor Gment has announced steps to ensure apprentices are safe at work & treated with respect. Congrats to apprentices who have come together in powerful ways to speak up, share stories in the media & organised community support to demand the dignity they deserve.

Solidarity with the mighty @anmfvic members at St Vincent's Private Hospitals demanding safer nurse to patient ratios in their enterprise agreement @VicUnions
Nurses have walked off the job at @StVincentsMelb private. They are demanding a 1:4 nurse patient ratio like in the public system. "1:4 like next door, 1:8 is not safe." @anmfvic @VicUnions
Empty shelves at @woolworths Chelsea. This is what happens when you treat workers like robots and don't pay them a fair wage - they strike to demand dignity and remind us how important their work is. #WooliesStrike @UnitedWorkersOz
Throw back to volunteering last Saturday to talk to community members in the scorching heat in Frankston @VicUnions

This week at Parliament you'll find the Young Workers Centre talking to people about the great work we do as a community legal centre. As part of that we support young workers with employment issues, and teach them what their rights are ✊✊✊
I spoke to @francophileenoz about a 19yo apprentice plumber who was transported in a ute toolbox. This is an extreme case of apprentice exploitation but sadly I’m not surprised.

A reminder: it's a myth that a child must be 14 and 9 months to work. TX Maxx are facing criminal charges after breaching child employment laws at it's Werribee store. @YWCVictoria nationaltribune.com.au/tk-ma…

Me on the blower talking to family about the referendum. I’m a #YES (did my shirt and badge give it away?) #yes23 #millioncallsforyes

Only 10 days until the #VoiceToParliament referendum. We can only win through mass action - & the best way to sway undecided voters is a conversation with a loved one.
That’s why I just made my first call for the #MillionCallsForYes campaign! #Yes23

The same folks who brought us 'African gangs' hysteria & opposed marriage equality want you to believe that a #VoiceToParliament would be divisive.
