Queensland Council of Unions President John Battams is currently visiting Mackay to discuss local issues with union delegates and workers.
"Mackay has an above average rate of unemployment now which is unusual for this area.
"We have about 5500 people unemployed in Mackay and the rate of unemployment in Queensland has gone from 5.5% to 6.6% despite the LNP promising to get it down to 4%," John Battams said.
Currently John is fighting the 100% fly in fly out company decisions from the Caval Ridge and Daunia mines which is impacting Mackay's economy negatively as a result.
Battams advice to end Mackay's economic hardships from the FIFO mine sites is to "put the LNP last and fill out every box when voting."
"This government has done nothing and will do nothing.
"The Labor opposition has said they'll actually activate policies to create jobs and that's the essential difference.
