Secure Your Future With Job Security Campaigns From Australian Unions
Job security is a fundamental right that every worker deserves. At Australian Unions, we are dedicated to defending the security of workers’ jobs, ensuring that all workers have stable employment and fair conditions. Discover valuable insights into the ongoing campaigns that fight against job insecurity, advocate for permanent roles, and push for fair minimum wages conditions for all workers. Join the movement to strengthen your workplace protections and ensure that your job remains secure, no matter what the future holds.
Protecting Workers from Unfair Dismissal and Casualisation
Union members are leading for charge to protect workers from unfair dismissals and the rising trend of casual jobs, where casual workers are denied the benefits of permanent employment. Through collective action, unions are working to secure better job protections, permanent contracts, and fair pay for all workers. Learn how unions are challenging unfair labour practices and pushing for improvement that will guarantee long-term job security for Australian workers.
Strengthen Your Rights And Secure Your Future
Being part of a union means standing together with your colleagues to demand better job security for all workers. By joining your union, you gain a collective voice that advocates for permanent roles, fair treatment, and better working conditions across all industries. Together, we can push for stronger protections, more secure work, and a brighter future for every Australian worker!
