Media release: Unions welcome continued low rate of unemployment

SA announced today that it's moving to introduce 25km/h speed limits around RAA roadside workers to make them and the public safer. It would not have happened without AMWU members like Dean Jennings and Michael Walker campaigning for years to get these laws changed.

Union members are calling for a 5% increase to the minimum wage, so that working people can keep up with the cost of living.

There are a raft of industrial relations changes coming into effect later this year - fought for and won by union members.

Be part of the movement that makes change happen, join your Union today.

The Liberals and Nationals have voted against every single law the Albanese Government has introduced to grow wages and make jobs safer and more secure.

So what do you think would happen if Peter Dutton gets in charge of the country?

By day he pushes for lower wages and longer working hours while claiming to stand for working Australians.

And by night he parties with billionaires at taxpayer expense.

Self-proclaimed champion of the working class, Peter Dutton.
