And they won. Because of this, they remain a dominant team and within reach of a World Cup victory. There is power in a union and strength in unity. #Matildas #TillitsDone #FIFAWWC
But they didn’t just ask nicely, they used their power as workers and took industrial action, including refusing to board a plane to the US to play in a friendly match.
As we get ready to cheer the @TheMatildas to another victory tonight, it’s important to talk about how they got here. Back in 2015, while negotiating a new collective agreement, the players demanded equal pay and prize money and better conditions.
THE RESULTS ARE IN! 🚨🚨 85% of eligible QR members returned a vote, with 91% voting to take industrial action. This massive result demonstrates that workers won't accept an offer that sees them go backwards and will use their collective power to fight for better.
A major announcement today with the Palaszczuk Government committing to full safety screens and police on buses to keep our members safe. Thanks @MarkBaileyMP for working with us on this critical issue. abc.net.au/news/2023-01-2…
RTBU members representing ✊
Back in Gladstone for Cabinet and very happy to run into a few @RTBUnion members! Rail is the backbone of industry across this region - thanks for all your hard work.
Pacific National Coal has just provided its workforce notice that they plan to lock them out commencing on 19th of April. We are aware and we are sending out communications this evening. This form of industrial bastardry will not be tolerated.
For people who work in our industries - this budget is a big fat dud. All we got was a grab bag of half-promises, from a government with no record of delivery, and vote-buying measures dressed up as a plan, on the eve of an election. Transport workers deserve better.
We call on the Federal and Qld Government to prioritise public transport workers for the critical role they play and give them access to the vaccine as soon as possible. Please sign and share this important petition: megaphone.org.au/petitions/fron… via @MegaphoneAU
"If you need to stop work and isolate you should get your normal pay and the government should reimburse businesses that can't afford to pay that," says ACTU president Michele O'Neil. Do you have a question about paid pandemic leave? | @SBSNews #QandA bit.ly/2XD7vl5

Many Queensland workers will be hurt by another cut to penalty rates from 1 July 2020 but LNP MP Warren Entsch will be just fine. How many times do we have to go through this ... you can't cut wages and grow your economy. #NoPenaltyRateCuts @unionsaustralia
We'll come to the table to meet with the government and employers but let's be clear - To get through this crisis Australia needs more secure jobs with rights. @sallymcmanus #ausunions #auspol
Today’s JobKeeper question: Can your boss make you work extra hours?
Our @TransLinkSEQ Senior Network Officers, Railway Squad @QldPolice & Qld Rail security staff do a wonderful job protecting the travelling public & I can’t thank them enough for doing an important & tough job 😊👍👏👏
Palaszczuk Government is investing in 1000s of Gold Coast jobs when they’re most needed; ✅M1 Upgrades Mudgeeraba - Varsity Lakes - Tugun ✅Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3 Broadbeach to Burleigh ✅ business case underway on Coomera Connector 🚗🚋🚙🚞🚛 @GCBulletin
Thousands of jobs will be created as work begins on major #GoldCoast infrastructure projects including the light rail and Coomera Connector. @GCS_Pottsy @MarkBaileyMP @MayorTomTate goldcoastbulletin.com.au/business/gold-…
Wednesday, 22 April – coronavirus cases in Queensland: • 0 new confirmed cases • 1,024 confirmed cases • 90,168 tests conducted Sadly, six Queenslanders have died from coronavirus. 738 patients have recovered. #Covid_19australia
We're making a head start on the Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3A extension from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads. By starting the $709 million project last week, we're paving the way for major works to start after the construction contract's awarded in the final quarter of the year.
On Sunday on #Insiders @David_Speers interviews @sallymcmanus #auspol
Don't touch. Pedestrian crossings in some high-use areas across Queensland will be automated—meaning we won't have to touch the button to get the green walk signal anymore. Thanks for helping us #flattenthecurve and remember if you can to #stayhomestaysafe
