MUA: Tell Chevron ...

Using dodgy visas to hire overseas backpackers.

The jobs in the offshore resource industry should be for locals – there are enough local workers to fill almost all the jobs Chevron and their contractors need.
But hiring offshore workers isn’t the worst of it. As well as bringing in foreign workers, Chevron contractor Allseas isn’t paying them Australian wages and conditions, and is bringing them in on
dodgy visas.
Chevron: how can Australian workers compete with this?

Not training our local kids.

We need to make sure that there’s a good future for our kids – the resource boom can help with this.
Our kids need to be able to get good training through apprenticeships and workplacements – supported by companies like Chevron and their contractors.
Companies like Chevron are making billions in profits on these projects. Some of this money should be training our kids. Giving them jobs. Securing their future.
Chevron: commit to training our kids for their future.

Not supporting indigenous communities.

For too long the indigenous communities in the Pilbara have been ignored during the resource boom.
We must make sure that everyone is benefitting from the boom – but particularly the indigenous communities.
Not a single real dollar has been committed to indigenous training – just fluffy announcements and spin.
The programs that have been announced never lead to real jobs.
Chevron: commit to some real support of our indigenous communities.
