A despicable attack on a worker just trying to do his job. Our thoughts are with this driver—all gig workers should have access to workers' compensation so that they don't have to fundraise to stay afloat while they recover from such horrific incidents. https://t.co/uMAOCnz3DP

A new CEO announced for Virgin as the airline announces record profits. Workers have been instrumental in this and have been incredibly loyal to the airline - Jayne Hrdlicka's successor Dave Emerson must now re-commit to decent jobs and worker consultation.

Huge opportunity for workers and the travelling public - Bain and Virgin need to make sure worker consultation is ongoing during this next phase.

TWU Members at Cleanaway Noosa took 24hr industrial action yesterday, as they continue to campaign for a decent wage increase and more rights at work. These workers have gone backwards by more than 3% in real terms since 2022, it’s time they get the pay rise they deserve.

Morrison gave 2 billion to Qantas and what did Australians get ?

Media release: Real wages grow more in the last 12 months than under nine years of the Coalition government

The Transport Workers Union - TWU is standing up for fairness, using the road transport industry laws the Albanese Govt passed last year to hold powerful banks and retailers to account. At Armaguard, cost-cutting has meant job insecurity, pay cuts, and safety risks for

Whiplash from Bridget McKenzie on Rex!

We're securing the future of regional flights keeping communities connected while the Liberals and Nationals call it a "waste." Funny, they had no problem handing Qantas $2 billion with no strings attached.

One year since the Albanese Government passed Closing Loopholes II. One year of delivering world-leading protections - better pay, stronger rights, and more job security for workers. Today, we heard from workers in gig, finance, and teaching about the real impact of these

“During the pandemic money was shovelled into companies like Qantas by the Coalition-but with no strings attached to ensure decent services or jobs. It is hugely positive that the Fed Govt will attach conditions to any funding for Rex in the public interest.”

“What a relief today for workers, for businesses and regional Australian. The Federal Government will step in to ensure Rex survives long-term. This is a turning point in aviation in Australia.”

A huge turning point in the aviation industry with this announcement that the Federal Government will ensure Rex's long-term future. It's a vital step towards making sure aviation is for the public good—not for lining executive pockets. https://t.co/RlG8M783Fb

New edition of "How to Make Life Harder for Working Australians" just dropped. You can find this alongside the Coalition's other hits: "We ❤️ Gina Rinehart" and "Billionaires Deserve More."

Of course, Jones should never have been in the running to start with. That’s why we need reform in aviation so that workers and the travelling public come first.

For months the TWU has raised concerns about Qantas illegal outsourcing architect Paul Jones being in the running for Virgin’s top job. Following sustained pressure it is a huge relief to workers that Virgin has now confirmed its next CEO will not be Jones.

Truckies, delivery drivers and other gig workers are now getting minimum pay and conditions for the first time under Labor’s laws - laws Dutton voted against. We’re getting wages moving again and Dutton needs to tell people what changes he’d make to our laws.

Honoured to kick off Parliament this year discussing the world leading transport reforms we passed in 2024. From securing more rights for gig workers, including the ability to challenge unfair deactivations, to supporting owner-drivers facing unjust terminations, we’ve made the

Standing shoulder to shoulder with @TWUAus drivers. Fatalities on our roads are on the rise. 57 🛻 drivers lost their lives in the last 12 months. More can always be done to improve road safety especially for heavy vehicles #auspol #politas @TWUVicTas @TWUMichaelKaine

I left the road transport industry in 2006 because I couldn’t keep a roof over my family’s head the way things were going. The new transport reform laws will make a huge difference. @MattBurnellMP
