Was only days ago Mettam was decrying the state of public sector wages. Which one is it? 🤷♂️

This is what solidarity looks like. After months of action from individual unions we came together today to demand better pay and dignity in public sector work. ✊✊

The hilarious and over the top reaction from industry to workers bargaining collectively tells us all we need to know - it works, and it will lead to better pay and conditions for workers in the resources industry.

Seven workplace deaths in five weeks is an outrage. These are always preventable and far too few receive any kind of prosecution or penalty.

Rubbish claims from WA health in this important article. I've been working with these interpreters for two years and universally they have limited to no access to pre or post debriefing services after a traumatic event.

A clear message sent to the State Government today as at least 12,000 teachers turned out to take action for better pay and conditions. Largest strike in WA many years.

This rings shallow after seven years of real wage cuts for Teachers.
Education Minister Tony Buti has made a last minute “plea” to teachers not to strike on Tuesday — saying at the very least education support schools needed to remain open.

Sham contracting is rife across construction in WA. If this race to the bottom on a government project results in this worker's family being hundreds of thousands of dollars short, someone needs to step in to cover the gap.
The man killed on his lunch break while working at Bayswater Station was allegedly a “sham contractor” who had no super or leave entitlements – an arrangement that has also denied his grief-stricken family any chance of a hefty insurance payout.
