Pretending to the workers, but voting with the bosses.

NEVER voted for better industrial rights❌
NEVER voted for Same Job, Same Pay❌
NEVER voted for more secure, affordable housing❌
NEVER voted for apprentices to have free TAFE❌
NEVER voted for energy workers❌

NEVER has our backs.
Should NEVER get our support.

P.S. If you're heading to the bowser this arvo, remember who's cheering on Trump's war that is making it hurt. ⛽️

On April 28 each year, we pause to remember and mourn workers who have lost their lives to workplace incidents or occupational illnesses.

Join unionists at International Workers Memorial Day services across NSW where we will hear from guest speakers and renew our commitment to keeping workers safe on the job.

Registration is essential for the IWMD Sydney service. Reach out to your AMWU Organiser if you are interested in attending.

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 🕊️
