Workers at ASC (Osborne Naval Shipyard) walked off the job on Monday (6 May).  The workers are seeking a 17% pay increase to reach pay parity with their Western Australian colleagues. The AMWU has indicated that members are prepared to undertake rolling stoppages. #ausunions

The dispute at the Saputo factory in Burnie continues. Workers are fighting for pay parity with their mainland colleagues. The AMWU estimated Tuesday’s industrial action was a $90,000-$100,000 hit to the company due to wasted product.  #ausunions

Tune in tonight - ABC News #QandA

Proud to be celebrating Labour Today with the The AMWU & Independent Education Union - QLD & NT & Queensland Labor and all the other mighty Queensland unions. Organised labour is the hope of the world.

AMWU members at ASC in South Australia have walked off the job this morning for better pay. Despite being the only team in the country that can perform critical deep maintenance on Collins Class submarines, the workers are paid around 17% less than their WA counterparts.

A new report by @theAMWU + @Solutions_AU shows strong industry policy from the Anthony Albanese govt can create new industries + jobs for the Hunter region! newcastleherald.com.au/story/8612101/… #Auspol #AusClimateSolutions

Workers at Electrolux (The AMWU members) in Dudley Park walked off the job for the fourth time on Monday morning (29/1). As reported last week, workers are fighting for an 18% pay increase over 3 years, after not having a single increase since 2022. #ausunions

The bugle of my Grandfather, Bert Fifield, who had it at the Battle of the Somme. Married Gladys, had Alan & three grandsons. Worked as a NSW Lands Dept lithographer & Federal Secretary of the Australian Printing Trades Employees’ Union (1947-1966). A life of service. #AnzacDay

Solidarity to The AMWU members at Saputo Dairy who've taken strike action today for fair wages. Another example of the mainland wage gap where companies think they can rip Tassie workers off just because of where we live. Workers are fed up and standing up #politas #auspol

Workers at Saputo Burnie have taken strike action today in their pursuit of parity with Saputo mainland wage rates.
A 21% difference between the sites is simply corporate greed and Tasmanians say enough is enough! No longer are we the poor cousin #politas

The AMWU members have worked in traditional industries for generations, powering our economy & looking after us

If Governments can give $57b in handouts to multinational fossil fuel companies, they should be able to give a hand up to the home-grown industries of the future.

Everyone has a right to feel safe in their own homes.

More than 30,000 lives have been taken in Gaza - 13,500 of them children.

Amongst the lives lost, thousands of workers. Nurses, teachers, doctors, aid workers…

This is not humanity.

Ceasefire.
Aid.
Safety.
Peace.

SA announced today that it's moving to introduce 25km/h speed limits around RAA roadside workers to make them and the public safer. It would not have happened without AMWU members like Dean Jennings and Michael Walker campaigning for years to get these laws changed.

We are standing by Electrolux workers in Adelaide who have continued to strike over unfair pay and conditions ✊

Workers at Electrolux's Adelaide factory walked off the job today, a last resort as the company tries to short-change them. They've already twice voted down the substandard agreement that comes with restrictive conditions around when they can take leave.

Today Anthony Albanese announced a ‘Future made in Australia’

Government is stepping up to create #Manufacturing jobs in #renewable energy industries

Good unionised jobs for the #workers who have powered our economy & regions for generations

This is leadership

This bus was built in Queensland by local workers. It's the first of 200 rail replacement buses rolling off the production line as part of the Queensland Government’s investment of more than $130m to support our manufacturing industry and good local jobs.
