I had a massive pumped up meeting of over 1000 union delegates tonight from around the country talking about why we need a change of government and what we are are all going to do to achieve it #ausvotes

Another Betrayal by @ScottMorrisonMP to dump on Australian shipbuilders. This government good on the spin but never delivers on commitments #auspol #ScottyfromMarketing @AWUnion @theamwu @ProfsAustralia @ETU_national

The Brits think the nuclear-powered subs will be built there. Defence are saying it’s likely the US. Morrison says Adelaide. How’s the Senate Inquiry hearing going? #SupportAussieMade #AusPol #AMWU

You can’t be a tradesperson if you’ve never touched the tools. I learned the craft of my trade from skilled #workers who knew all the tips and tricks to do the job safely. Support the #AMWU campaign to keep #apprentices on the #tools megaphone.org.au/petitions/k…
1/1 the Morrison Govt wants to abolish apprenticeships as we know them. Abolishing the on-the-job training and just have people go to TAFE. Eddie is a third year apprentice fitter and turner at Balmain Ferries. “Pretty much everything I’ve learned has been on the job”

They're right.
Two former Labor prime ministers have united to urge the Coalition not to dump next year's increase to compulsory superannuation. Paul Keating and @MrKRudd held a joint conference in separate states slamming plans to freeze the increase as cowardly and un-Australian. @riley7news

We have been calling for paid pandemic leave since 11 March. It was obvious to us the huge risk of so many people having no sick leave during a pandemic. It's heartbreaking to see todays workplace transmission #insiders
It's not too late Scott Morrison. Australia needs paid pandemic leave now. Email your MP and demand paid pandemic leave: utm.io/uHmz

Sometimes things drive me crazy, like when a virus is being spread in workplaces by casual workers who don't have paid leave and the Federal Government does nothing about it. People are dying, jobs are being lost, infections are spreading. It's time for action!

To rebuild Australian manufacturing we need the government to back in local workers and local businesses by buying Australian made. Check out this article by @TomMcIlroy for more of what AMWU National Secretary Paul Bastian has to say afr.com/politics/federal/buy… #auspol

Are you under an EBA? You need to watch this. Your employer can now give you 24 hours' notice to vote to change your agreement. What should you do? @sallymcmanus #ausunions #COVID19Aus

This morning Alan Joyce claimed 'every body is taking equal pain'. They're not. It's workers who are bearing the brunt. After millions in taxpayer support, the least Qantas can do is provide 2 weeks paid special leave and bring the maintenance schedule forward. The least.

Well done to the 🇦🇺 skilled workforce. A great look back on a world class program. The 3rd and final Air Warfare Distroyer @AWDAlliance handed over to the @Australian_Navy youtu.be/HP4Y9T6JTI0 #auspol @AWUnion @theamwu @ETU_national @ProfsAustralia @ASFUnions

Should’ve made them here.
Light Rail Fail on day one. Tram break down in Circular Quay. Passengers stuck then forced off. George Street blocked. @7NewsSydney
