Taking Up The Fight For Fairness

Following the defeat of the Howard Government, its disgraceful IR laws are starting to be consigned to the dust bins of history.

However, the fight for fairness in our workplaces still goes on.

The Rudd Labor Government has changed some IR laws recently, but we still have a way to go until the power balance in your workplace is evened up.

The AWU has a strong and united position on the way forward.

We will not leave a stone unturned to make sure the Rudd Government keeps its commitments to working people.

URGENT SAFETY REMINDER

The AWU is mounting a conveyor belt safety campaign after AWU member Gerald Wilkie's arm was amputated above the elbow in an incident at his Laverton workplace in May 2007.

Gerald had to tear his arm off in order to escape the machine as it attempted to pull him in.
