I left the road transport industry in 2006 because I couldn’t keep a roof over my family’s head the way things were going. The new transport reform laws will make a huge difference. Matt Burnell MP

Standing shoulder to shoulder with TWU Australia drivers. Fatalities on our roads are on the rise. 57 🛻 drivers lost their lives in the last 12 months. More can always be done to improve road safety especially for heavy vehicles #auspol #politas TWU Vic/Tas Michael Kaine

Truckies, delivery drivers and other gig workers are now getting minimum pay and conditions for the first time under Labor’s laws - laws Dutton voted against. We’re getting wages moving again and Dutton needs to tell people what changes he’d make to our laws.

New edition of "How to Make Life Harder for Working Australians" just dropped. You can find this alongside the Coalition's other hits: "We ❤️ Gina Rinehart" and "Billionaires Deserve More."

A huge turning point in the aviation industry with this announcement that the Federal Government will ensure Rex's long-term future. It's a vital step towards making sure aviation is for the public good—not for lining executive pockets. au.finance.yahoo.com/news/regional-…

“What a relief today for workers, for businesses and regional Australian. The Federal Government will step in to ensure Rex survives long-term. This is a turning point in aviation in Australia.”

“During the pandemic money was shovelled into companies like Qantas by the Coalition-but with no strings attached to ensure decent services or jobs. It is hugely positive that the Fed Govt will attach conditions to any funding for Rex in the public interest.”

One year since the Albanese Government passed Closing Loopholes II. One year of delivering world-leading protections - better pay, stronger rights, and more job security for workers. Today, we heard from workers in gig, finance, and teaching about the real impact of these

We're securing the future of regional flights keeping communities connected while the Liberals and Nationals call it a "waste." Funny, they had no problem handing Qantas $2 billion with no strings attached.

TWU Members at Cleanaway Noosa took 24hr industrial action yesterday, as they continue to campaign for a decent wage increase and more rights at work. These workers have gone backwards by more than 3% in real terms since 2022, it’s time they get the pay rise they deserve.

Huge opportunity for workers and the travelling public - Bain and Virgin need to make sure worker consultation is ongoing during this next phase.

A new CEO announced for Virgin as the airline announces record profits. Workers have been instrumental in this and have been incredibly loyal to the airline - Jayne Hrdlicka's successor Dave Emerson must now re-commit to decent jobs and worker consultation.

A despicable attack on a worker just trying to do his job. Our thoughts are with this driver—all gig workers should have access to workers' compensation so that they don't have to fundraise to stay afloat while they recover from such horrific incidents. 9news.com.au/national/albio…
