For every worker killed by machinery, collisions, or falls, there are others killed by prolonged exposure to hazardous materials, or the cumulative impact of work on their mental health. On International Workers' Memorial Day, we remember them too. ow.ly/yjyM50RmOQE

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Back at the bargaining table today at the City of Ballarat. Our ASU members have secured a Protected Industrial Action Order from the Fair Work Commission. Members are fired up and ready to take action in support of a fair pay rise.

Things have changed a bit. Regrettably we do not encourage dancing until 4am. Instead we've got @MrMcLelland on the decks in @Fringe and mingling in the ETU Ballroom 6pm-1.30am Friday 3 May, Trades Hall. Get your tickets here: ow.ly/KNyN50RmOGh

Until there are no dead workers to grieve for, we all still have work to do. Join us on Monday morning as we remember those killed at (or by) work in the last year, and recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for safer workplaces. More info: ow.ly/kQ9V50RmIoV

Every year, we host a memorial service to remember those Victorians who lost their lives at work. Join us at 10.30am Monday, at Argyle Square Carlton, to be part of it. Because as long as there are ANY work-related deaths, we all have more work to do. ow.ly/UMcU50RlTU8

On this day in 1856, stonemasons walked off the job to protest their long working days. They had an ambitious vision: dividing 24 hours into 8 hours work, 8 hours recreation and 8 hours rest. And they would achieve it with no loss of pay.

IT'S BACK, BABY!

After an unfortunate COVID-inspired hiatus, the Labour Day Dinner Dance is returning!
