Stop the Government’s attack on workers rights

Right now the Government is pushing to pass a bill in parliament that will entrench the insecure work crisis facing this country.

Around 40% of the Australian workforce is in some kind of insecure, casual employment with no security and minimal rights at work.
The uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted even more the inequality and insecurity that has been allowed to flourish under our existing labour laws.

Instead of taking action to create a better future for workers the Government is letting the interests of big business and wealthy corporations dictate the future of work in Australia. 

The Government’s proposed Industrial Relations reforms that will soon be voted on in parliament will entrench the insecure work crisis facing this country. 

We must stop the government stripping away our rights at work and further eroding the hard-fought wins for casual workers. 

Unemployment is predicted to continue to rise and too many people – especially young people – aren’t getting the hours of work they want and need to live a decent life. 

We need to tackle the unemployment and underemployment crisis that is set to only get worse in the coming years. We have a chance to put an end to the systemic inequality that dominates our labour laws and build a fairer and more sustainable future. A future that protects and improves workers rights, wages and conditions. 

Now is the time to advance workers rights, not cut them. 

Here’s what we’re fighting for:

  • Outlaw insecure work: All workers  have the right to ongoing and secure work. We will put an end to the casualisation crisis and give workers the job security they deserve by establishing the presumption that all employment must be ongoing unless there is a case for genuine casual employment.
  • Rights for everyone: All workers, including gig economy workers, should have the same wages, entitlements and conditions as employees. Workers have been denied minimum wages and protections because businesses have worked hard to avoid their responsibilities. We will help workers access these fundamental rights
