Today I met with workers and the @AWUnion in Whyalla and met Marty, who’s had 45 years of service to the Whyalla Steelworks and a lifelong commitment to workers’ right.

Today ACOSS & the AWU joined together to call for urgent action on soaring energy costs. 3million people are experiencing poverty right now. They simply can’t afford huge hikes to their energy bills. The government must act now @JEChalmers @Bowenchris bitly.ws/xepm

#EXCLUSIVE: Imagine running a business with nearly 1,000 workers, only to see your power bill double to almost $150 million.
That's the reality for a big plastics manufacturer at Port Botany, as the energy crisis is left unaddressed by the Albanese Government. @cokeefe9 #9News

Heading up to announce an historic agreement between Govt, farmers, meat processors and unions to resolve longstanding ag workforce challenges. Stay tuned!

This agreement wouldn’t have happened without the Albanese Govt’s Jobs & Skills Summit. And it wouldn’t have happened without the new spirit of cooperation that the summit delivered.

The Government, National Farmers' Federation, Australian Unions, meat processors & more have agreed to work together to skill more Australian workers, supply PALM & other migrant workers & strengthen worker protections.

Today is an important day for our ag industry.
We’ve signed a historic agreement between Govt, industry & unions to tackle workforce challenges that have existed for years.

AWU National Secretary Daniel Walton says he's looking forward to Nationals Leader David Littleproud "riding in on his one trick pony" to Labor's Jobs and Skills Summit with more calls for "easily exploitable" regional visas.

Passionate advocacy by many @AWU_Victoria members. Energy shortages will lead to Victorian job losses.
Our delegates are diamonds.

BREAKING: The AWU declares a national gas emergency in response to the ACCC's predicted gas shortfall.
We're calling on the Government to trigger the Gas Security Mechanism and provide affordable gas for Australian manufacturers.#awuconf2022

Excellent speech by @SwannyQLD at the #AWUconf2022
Emphasising that we live in a community not a corporation.
And that the economy should work for us, not us for it.

Excellent @unionsaustralia report by the amazing @sallymcmanus to the #AWUconf2022
Reminding @AWUnion delegates that despite raids, anti-union laws and slander in their media we are still here. And they’re not!

We have attempted to bargain in good faith with
@Shell for 19 months
Instead of genuinely engaging, we have been met with nothing but stonewalling, aggression and escalation
This lockout is the latest attempt to crush the spirits of their loyal workforce

BREAKING: Unions win historic wage increase of 5.2% for those on the minimum wage and 4.6% for those reliant on award wages.

Worried about energy prices?
Wonder what could be done to fix them?
Look no further than Gas Reservation. In WA they reserve 15% of their gas for domestic use. The rest of the country does not.
This is what policy failure looks like 👇👇
