And a big congratulations to the United Trades and Labor Council of South Australia @SAUnions on its 140th anniversary!

It’s a huge honour to deliver the opening address for the #ACTUcongress2024 welcoming the Australian trade union movement to Adelaide.

Remember the dead and fight like hell for the living every day, until not one worker loses their life to their job. #WorkersMemorialDay

The AEA sends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and work mates of Paramedic Stuart Brand during this tragic time. Stuart was a highly regarded, compassionate ambo who showed empathy and care for his patients. His loss is being felt deeply within our green family.

Keolis Downer is expecting drivers delivering our vital public train service to cop a real wage cut, while they rake in profits gouged from South Aussie pockets. These failed privitisation pirates can get stuffed. @RTBUnion members deserve decent pay for the vital job they do.

DEVELOPING: A major train strike is set to cause commuter chaos with Adelaide drivers confirming they will walk off the job tomorrow. https://t.co/mlzwMZyAKH @DeeWilliams7 #7NEWS

Media release: ACTU calls for 5% increase to minimum wages

Union members are the biggest voice for working people in the annual minimum wage decision, usually against the voices of big business and politicians who believe in low wages.

@UnitedWorkersOz members at Goodlife and Fitness First won a pay increase because of their public petition. Instructors are Unionising and winning big as a collective around the country. There is a long way ahead for real wage justice, and the struggle continues. #Unionwin

Workers in the arts sector make a significant contribution to SA both economically and culturally. But people are burning out, and can't afford to plan for their future. We can and should do better. It's good to see the government commence this work.

Our thoughts are with the members of the Police Association of SA and their families after a devastating week and the shocking loss of Brevet Sergeant Jason Doig. We also send solidarity to Commissioner Grant Stevens and his family for the tragic loss of their son Charlie.

Workers in the 30s are dying from an entirely preventable disease. @safe_work_aus makes it clear the only way to keep workers safe is to ban it - and the experts agree.

Big news! A report released by Safe Work Australia has recommended a complete prohibition on the use of engineered stone in Australia. This comes after massive campaign by union members to stop this deadly fashion item from claiming any more lives.

Our class action is seeking compensation for all ALDI workers, covering over 20,000 current and former workers. Paying workers for all time worked isn’t optional - it’s the law.

@DaleBeas @DaleBeas asks where participants can turn to if they think they’re getting ripped off. Josephine doesn’t think there is anywhere they can turn, the NDIA provides some resources but the aren’t a watch dog. “It has really been left to NDIS consumer as participants themselves.”

“We’ve had a 66% increase in grants administered in the last financial year, we’ve had more and more women coming to us who are unable to meet expenses like food, clothing, education and healthcare.” - Kelly-Ann Tansley, CEO of the Zahra Foundation @Zahra_Aust

And we’re off! @DaleBeas opens the hearing of the Inquiry into Price Gouging and Unfair Pricing Practices in Adelaide

Been feeling ripped off lately? You’re not alone. Food, petrol, electricity are all skyrocketing. Meanwhile, big business profits & executive salaries/bonuses are going through the roof, & in some cases, outstripping even pre-pandemic levels.

It's time to even the game. Big Business have been manipulating the system and exploiting workers for too long. Workers deserve secure, safe jobs that pay them fairly.

Greedy corporates are gouging super profits from the hip pockets of ordinary Australians, and it is supercharging the cost of living crisis. My piece in The New Daily makes it clear - Australians are mad as hell and we ain't gonna take it any more. https://t.co/VTiMb9f9K2
