ACTU Stop Morrison's Anti Worker Bill

Scott Morrison’s so called “ensuring integrity” bill – the most anti-worker, anti-union laws we have seen in a generation - has been the subject of a Senate inquiry and public hearings, and the bill is likely to be voted on soon. It’s really important that the Senators voting on these laws hear from everyday working people now, before they decide which way they are going to vote. Eight excellent, courageous rank and file union branch committee of management members and delegates gave evidence in person at hearings in the last two weeks and they represented all of us extremely well. Now it's our turn to back them up. We are asking all union activists to make contact with one of the Senators whose vote will be the difference between these laws coming in or not. We need you to contact Senators from the Jacqui Lambie Network, Centre Alliance and One Nation via Facebook. Senator Jacqui Lambie Senator Rex Patrick Senator Stirling Griff Senator Pauline Hanson Senator Malcolm Robert Before Senators make up their mind on whether to vote in laws that are anti-democratic and will hurt working people, they really need to hear from working people about the impact these laws will have. It’s important we do this in a positive way, let them know why it’s important and ask them to vote to stop the Bill. This is a chance for you to speak up and tell your personal story about how the so-called ‘ensuring integrity’ bill will affect you, and your union. It’s your chance to tell Senators why you think these laws are bad and unfair for workers. Remember, these laws do not apply to banks or business. These laws single out unions and make it harder for workers to stand up to employers who do the wrong thing. This is about silencing working people and making it harder for workers to win pay rises. That’s what Senators need to hear.  Can I count on you to contact them? In unity, Michele O’Neil ACTU President http://www.australianunions.org.au/
