Today, all around Australia flags are flying at half-mast in honour of the victims of the Bondi Junction attack. Australia is feeling this deeply. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those impacted.

Today the SDA Union is launching our campaign to make service stations safer. Partnering with the McKell Institute we’re calling for safety measures like secondary exits, night windows and screens are in place across all servos. All workers deserve to be safe at work.

#Usdaw very much welcomes the #ShopKind campaign, which brings together voices from across the retail sector, politicians and the police to promote a message of #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

Big news for young workers today ! The SDA is filing our application in the Fair Work Commission to remove junior rates for 18 & 19 year old workers in retail, fast food & pharmacy. Our message is clear: if you’re of adult age you should be paid an adult wage.

In Solidarity with TWU Australia as they fight for a Safe, Sustainable and Fair air transport through the Safe ad Secure Skies commission. #Newdealforaviation.

Young people don’t get discounts on their rent or youth grocery bills, so why should they get youth wages? Eighteen-year-olds have the same social and legal responsibilities as other adults and deserve the same minimum pay rates.

Sexual harassment is not ‘just part of the job’ in retail. It is unacceptable.   To tackle this issue across the retail industry, we need industry wide solutions.   amp.smh.com.au/national/i-lik…

Retail workers have a right to be safe when they’re at work - without fear of harassment from a manager, co-worker or customer.   We encourage any worker who experiences sexual harassment to report it and can do so with the support of their union, the SDA.

⁦SDA Union⁩ has launched a bid to raise the pay of workers at the most profitable fast food business in the world, using new laws won under labor. It’s time Maccas listened to its workers. afr.com/work-and-caree…

A huge moment for gig workers who for too long have existed outside workplace protections.

South Aussie Aldi workers have made history! Rejecting Aldi’s dodgy EA for a second time Aldi offshores its profits, but won’t give its Aussie workers guaranteed payrises Aldi is also seeking to cut the pay of new young workers It’s not good enough. Aldi workers deserve better

Grill’d is operating a business model that rips off young Aussie workers. The SDA Union will be doing everything we can at the Fair Work Commission to call out this appalling behaviour and seek to have their shonky new agreement rejected.

This was a great Conference and I left feeling confident and optimistic about the future in this Region. Great organizing successes; strong spirit and smart goals. Congrats to Rajendra Acharya and his team!

🚨On Black Friday, 29 November, workers and activists around the world will strike and protest Amazon in over 30 countries! #MakeAmazonPay ✊Join us! MakeAmazonPay.com

Amazon workers deserve a safe workplace, a secure job and fair wages & conditions. Amazon must be held to account not just during Black Friday sales but all year round. We’re out in Melbourne today talking to the community about our global #MakeAmazonPay campaign.

As you prepare to go into your retail frenzy, remember the Amazon workers who race around warehouses picking orders at unsustainable work rates set by algorithms that remove every pause in their workday. - SDA NSW Secretary Bernie Smith #MakeAmazonPay thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024/1…

TWU members fought for years for Same Job Same Pay to reverse the Joyce model of creating lower paid jobs. This in principle agreement is a huge win for Jetstar cabin crew.

In 1999 Toys R Us sacked Amanda Rishworth MP and offered her job back if she signed one of Howard’s AWAs. The SDA Union stepped in, stood up for Amanda and won. I’m incredibly proud that my great friend Amanda Rishworth will today become Australia’s Workplace Relations Minister

Congratulations SDA !

No Australian Prime Minister has carried more on their shoulders than John Curtin. Today, 80 years since he died while in office, we reflect on his legacy. A wartime leader, a Labor icon, a great Australian. Curtin understood that Australians do not seek our inspiration
