Michaelia Cash has been unable to get enough support from the Senate crossbench to pass her “Ensuring Integrity” anti-worker bill this week. Cash thought these laws would sail through, but she didn’t factor in the thousands of people like you that stood up and said “No way!” to the crossbench Senators.
But she won’t give up. The Senate is back in three weeks. So we need to keep the pressure on. You can contact your Senate crossbencher here and tell them to hold the line, no more anti-democratic, anti-union laws. No more union bashing.
Some union members even travelled all the way to Canberra to meet with Senators directly. They are the people who would be immediately affected by these laws as they volunteer to run their unions like Kerrie who is an early childhood educator and Nguyet who is an outworker in the textile industry. They took the time off work to be our voice in Canberra.
You were our voice on social media, via email and direct phone calls to Senators offices. This is how our movement wins, when we all pitch in there is strength in numbers.
We will need another big team effort very soon, they have more anti-worker laws lined up, I’ll be in touch.
Yours in union,
