This is not **News** per se, by which I mean this is not a new development. In one form or another, precarious agricultural workers have been take *to the cleaners* over the centuries (from Australia’s colonial past to the present #NeoLiberal #NeoColonialism). Wherever there’s a buck to be made by skipping around laws and regulations, there is sure to be some clever arsehole that comes up with a scheme to vaccum up easy cash. That, is the state our society has come down to and some of the worst perpetrators of this *financial fraud* are #LabourHire companies. They provide nothing that can’t be had by other more equitable schemes and skim the cream off the top for the privilege of screwing workers. ** A pox on all their houses.**
“Australia's growing reliance on temporary migrant labour has fuelled a booming labour hire industry, with contractors sitting between growers and workers, often recruiting, transporting and housing them.” (Source: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-04/australias-hidden-modern-slave-labour-workforce-exposed/106968610 )

It bears pointing out the obvious, again, and again, until the general population *Gets It* before the message finally get through the thick ears of govt and those in power start to *read the room*.
“…on almost every issue listed below, the Albanese government has gone against public opinion. For example, more than three-in-five Australians support a gas tax, 83% say the supermarkets deserve some blame for the cost-of-living crisis, three-in-four Australians want a ban on gambling ads and 79% hold a negative view of Israel. On these big issues, the vast majority – from left to right – are in agreement. Yet, as we show below, the prime minister has repeatedly stood with powerful interests.”

RE: https://aus.social/@Blacksmithoz/117017551134332056
How can we allow this kind of rort to go on…? How *responsible* is it for govts, meant to *represent* our wishes and act on them, to ignore the magnitude of #StateCapture?
Wake up people, the representatives we have elected so far in our democratic history ARE NOT your friends, they do not “Represent” YOU.
Get active, get political, make your vote count wherever you live before that voting power is taken away from you for ever.

#UnionBusting practices have been very successful in the last 50 years or so and this is the result. Beats me why ‘workers’ are too stupid to realise this. The only way to secure ‘workers’ (wage and salary earners) rightful share of the national wealth is through #Unionism. Strong, courageous and principled (Are you reading this #ACTU #SallyMcManus ?) willing to fight against all forms of govt for the benefit of all workers. I remember a time when Unions weren’t in bed with govts and strike funds coffers were full.#JoinYourUnion or keep loosing. Those are the choice, ever were so. “They” can’t lock us all up… remember that. #UnityIsStrength
Hope you’re well Melissa.

Teacher's strike.
What do we think about putting the premier on a teachers wage?

The worse our industry gets, the more crucial it is to help each other. Talk to your coworkers and get in touch with orgs like GWU Montreal NOW, it'll be too late when the bottom falls out.
It's time to take back control and bring democracy to our workplaces!

I’m a union member because I believe it's the right thing to do, not because I have a particular need for union support in my present workplace. But I am pleased to read the email I got today that tells me my membership helps pay to insure me in case I have an accident going to or from work.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.. but they don't actually care if that email finds you well.

Linking better #pay to #productivity only fuels the fallacy that productivity increases come from workers working harder. This is a non-sequitur.Higher wages are required to maintain and improve livelyhood in society, yes. Business owners wishing to improve productivity must reinvest a portion of their profits to modernise production tooling and methods as well as expending funds into ‘research’ for such improvements.
Let’s not give the #grifting system ammunition to squeeze yet more ‘production’ out of workers using old and ineficient #tools and #processes.
Linking higher #wages to productivity is just as damaging as linking so-called wage #spirals to #inflation.#Economics101 - don’t fall for #neoliberal economic scams

It was great to catch up with Trades Hall candidate school mates at The Curtin 11 new councillors representing you and me, how awesome is that?! #joinyourunion #VIC2026 #kindnessandcourage4change

Just voting is cool but have you ever withheld your labor with a bunch of your allies to demand the redistribution of wealth and power?

Took the family to see the Banksy display at Docklands. Do you remember when you first saw this during the dark times. I wasn't on the front line but gosh it had an impact. 🥰💜 #banksy #essentialworkers #joinyourunion #empowerment
