Workers deserve to be paid based on their contribution to their workplace, not the year they were born.
Junior rates in Australia mean that qualified, experienced 18+ year olds are getting paid only a percentage of the adult rate purely based on their age.
When you turn 18 you’re viewed as a responsible adult in the eye of the law – it just makes sense that you should have the same standing when you’re at work.
Young workers deserve to be paid properly for their contribution.

Aimed at students in senior years about to start work, Work! It’s an experience deals with workplace bullying, cash in hand work, unpaid trials and harassment.
Outreach to young people as they embark on their first jobs is essential to ensuring that young people are prepared with the knowledge and confidence they need to speak up if something is not right at work.

Australia had the highest per capita use of asbestos in the world from the 1950s until the 1980s. About every third domestic dwelling built between 1945 and 1987 (when manufacture of asbestos products in Australia ceased following union campaigning) is thought to contain asbestos.
We are all familiar with the cover-up about the health risks of asbestos and the fight for justice for victims, recently portrayed in the ABC telemovie Devil’s Dust.
Today, about 600 asbestos-related deaths are officially reported each year, and two new mesothelioma cases are diagnosed each day.
The asbestos death rate is expected to peak by 2020, when 18,000 people will have died from inhaling asbestos fibres.
The compensation bill is expected to top $7 billion in today’s money.
Australian unions are campaigning to have all asbestos removed from the built environment by 2030 – a massive task that has begun following the establishment of an Office for Asbestos Safety by the Federal Government this year. Read more

The ACTU is a member of the Slave Free Guarantee, a coalition of NGO’s, retailers and community organisations.
The current campaign Stop the Traffik is in direct response to the growing global movement against human trafficking.
For example, did you know that nearly half of the cocoa supplied internationally is sourced from western Africa namely Côte d’Ivoire, where children are often forced to work long hours on state owned plantations? Or that the third largest exporter of cotton Uzbekistan, force school children as young as nine, harvest cotton with their bare hands?
For more information and to get involved please go to the online petition here.
Please sign and distribute the online petition to your networks. Names and details will be presented to members of the Senate calling for identification and reporting requirements for all imported goods.

Help preserve penalty rates for Australian workers.
Footy, barbies and cricket on the beach. Dinner out, taking the kids to sport or a good old-fashioned sleep-in.
However you spend them, our Aussie weekends are sacred. For more than 60 years, our treasured moments with family and friends have been protected by penalty rates. If you work on a weekend, you’re compensated – it’s as simple, as fair and as Australian as that.
But now, our sacred Aussie weekend is under threat. Major employers are fighting hard to reduce or remove weekend penalty rates. And if they succeed, your boss will line up to do the same.
Join in and help Save the Aussie weekend.
