Peace is Union Business 🕊️

Wars are always fought on workers.
1000’s took to the streets in Newy calling for the end to the Genocide. An end to starvation.
An end to the war.
Peace, Justice and Solidarity 🕊️

169 years ago today, stonemasons in Melbourne downed tools and demanded a fair go:

8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours recreation.

They lead one of the first successful 8-hour day campaigns in the world, and they won 💪
Every break, every weekend, every right we have today was fought for by workers like them. Workers like us.

Let’s honour their legacy and keep building a fairer future.

In 2022 we voted for Secure Jobs, wages and Rights @ Work. In 2025 we vote to defend what we have achieved.
We’ve achieved more in 3 years Under the Federal ALP Government that we could under 10yrs the Anti-Worker, Anti-Union conservatives.
Manufacturing growth is a central focus in Australia again. As Comrade Clements say’s the list of wins for AMWU members and workers is to long to mention in a short vid. Dutton’s Liberal/National Coalition is a significant threat to Our Rights @ Work and a Future Made in Australia.
