Workers at the Kellogg's factory in Botany are fighting for a cost-of-living wage increase and the same rights on site. Kellogg's thinks it's okay to treat one group of workers differently to another. This two-tier system is disrespectful. Many of the workers have been at the site for years and take great pride in their work at the 100-year-old factory. However, the company does not respect them. All workers want their fair share. Kellogg’s rakes in a revenue of hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and it has just raised the price of its famous cereals. Yet the company refuses to make workers a pay offer that recognises their contribution to Kellogg's success. We, the undersigned, call on the Kellogg's CEO meet with workers and offer a fair deal.

For too long, local government ECEC workers have been underpaid. Now, we have a chance to fix this, but only if councils take the necessary steps.  ASU members fought to make sure local government ECEC workers were included in this funding, and we won. Now, we need to make sure every eligible worker receives it.  That’s why we’re calling on all local government ECEC workers to demand their councils apply for the funding and put the required workplace instrument in place.  Sign the petition today to tell your council: ECEC workers deserve their pay rise!  We, the undersigned, call on our employer to apply for the Commonwealth Government’s Worker Retention Payment and amend our workplace agreement to ensure these pay rises are delivered.  We endorse the ASU to act on our behalf in securing this outcome and ensuring that no eligible worker is left behind.  Sign now and stand with your fellow ECEC workers for fair pay! 

Because of government funding changes, many community + disability sector workers never get to stay with one employer long enough to take long service leave. That’s why states and territories throughout Australia are legislating for portable long service leave so workers take their leave entitlements with them between employers.   Northern Territory workers are about to fall behind the rest of the country because of the CLP Government. Sign the petition and stand with Australian Services Union members in calling on the NT Government to save Portable Long Service Leave. 

The Safe Haven Cafe offers a vital alternative to emergency department visits for people experiencing non-urgent mental health issues. It's led by LLEW (Lived & Living Experience Workers), providing compassionate, peer-based support that is accessible and non-judgmental. With the growing crises in housing, cost of living, and social isolation, the need for services like the Safe Haven Cafe has never been more urgent. Closing this service directly impacts those who are already marginalised and struggling to access mental health care. The lack of affordable and accessible options—due to long wait times and high costs—leaves many people without support when they need it most. This closure would be a failure of St Vincent's commitment to its own values of compassion, justice, and person-centred care. We cannot afford to lose this service. Stand with us to protect mental health services in our community!

Here are the facts:  • 91% of the early childhood workforce is female. • G8 Education is one of the largest ASX-listed companies that doesn't offer employer-funded paid parental leave for their employees.  • In the 2024 Global Gender Gap Report, Australian women are ranked 42nd in the world for economic participation and opportunity (down from 38 in 2023). • In Australia, a third of the gender pay gap is due to the time women spend in unpaid care work.  • G8's current gender pay gap is 20.1% (of the average total remuneration according to WGEA's latest data) • By not offering employer-funded paid parental leave, G8 Education is helping to grow the gender pay gap. It is perpetuating the 'motherhood penalty' which sees the average 25-year-old woman make $2 million less in lifetime earnings than the average 25-year-old man who also becomes a parent.   • Degree-qualified early childhood teachers are leaving the sector to work in schools with better pay and conditions, including employer-funded paid parental leave. If this continues, the quality of early learning in Australia will suffer as we lose dedicated and highly skilled teachers.    Teachers, educators and young children deserve better.    It’s time for G8 Education to step up and show they value the essential work that their teachers and educators perform. Please sign and share this petition today. * This petition supports Sustainable Investment Exchange’s campaign to pressure G8 to fund paid parental leave for staff.

The Liberal Party has promised to scrap recently won improvements to our rights at work: • pushing to cut superannuation to 9% • they will kill off new ‘right to disconnect’ laws, which stop bosses hassling us at home • they will wreck ‘same job, same pay’ laws • they will take away rights for casual workers, making them easier to exploit and to sack • they will scrap laws that criminalise wage theft. This is just the start. The Liberal Party says “everything is on the table” when it comes to dismantling Australians’ rights at work.

The rights of Australian women are under attack. The Liberal Party has fought against: • 3 days of subsidised childcare for every child • paid family and domestic violence leave • paying superannuation on paid parental leave • a long overdue 28% wage increase for low paid aged care workers • a 15% wage increase for early childhood educators • the right to disconnect, preventing bosses hassling us at home • new laws to stop sexual harassment at work. If the Liberal Party is elected at the next federal election, this is all under threat.

No one should have to work in pain or sacrifice their income to care for their health. Reproductive leave would allow workers to care for their health without financial stress or fear of discrimination. Let’s create fairer workplaces for all workers. Sign the petition to call on 10 days of reproductive leave today!

Bargaining in good faith isn’t just a legal obligation, it’s the right thing to do. When workers are denied a seat at the table, it sets a dangerous precedent. Fair pay and safe conditions don’t happen by chance, they’re fought for. Every delay impacts real people: your colleagues, your friends, your family.

Flexible work is not a perk—it’s essential. It’s essential for your employees’ work-life balance and their mental health. It’s essential for the attraction and retention of skilled workers. And it’s also essential for productivity at work. 

Over a million Australian workers rely on penalty rates to ensure they are fairly paid for the work they do, including working evenings, weekends and public holidays. The Australian Retailers Association, (ARA) backed by major retailers including Coles, Woolworths, and Kmart, doesn’t believe these workers deserve penalty rates. Despite the retail industry making over $7 billion in profit just last year, in a blatant attempt at cutting wages they have applied to the Fair Work Commission to cut penalty rates from Awards and Enterprise Agreements. If successful, this would mean workers lose overtime pay, evening and weekend penalty rates, work breaks, and see reduced rest times between shifts—from 12 hours to just 10 hours. We need to send a strong message to Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, and the ARA that Australians won’t accept cuts to penalty rates or reductions in fair pay standards.

What is being cut?    o   Sick leave balances: Sick leave accruals have been cut to zero! o   Income Protection Insurance: MSS Security is cutting this protection entirely! o   Workplace rights and protections: MSS Security is cutting up the rights of union delegates, while also foreshadowing that there are even more cuts to conditions on the way…   In addition to promising the above cuts, MSS Security is already looking to tear up unspecified conditions in the future too:   | “There are clauses in the [current] agreement which we do not want excluded at this point, but which we would not want carried over in their ‘current form’ to any future agreement. ” | MSS Security – People and Culture Manager for ACT, QLD & Defence - 17/01/2025   One such aviation security officer who hasn't yet been offered a job, is Shona, a 12-year veteran who was praised for her efforts in thwarting a gunman in the airport in 2022. "I've gone through contract transitions before, but they've been a lot easier," she said. "Lots of us are sitting by the phone waiting to be called and we're getting very frustrated and stressed, worrying about what we're going to do." "Many are thinking about leaving, which would leave the airport very short as it takes 3 - 4 months to get a worker up-to-speed. So it's a huge security risk to the airport to allow MSS to operate this way."
