The gig economy is cannibalising itself and it's workers who suffer.

New legislation has been passed that will soon allow minimum standards to be set in gig transport. Those standards are urgent.

The BCA's at it again.

Workers are facing a cost-of-living crisis while companies are making record profits. And they're still arguing for pay cuts.

The Australian public can see right through Qantas' shiny PR facade.

Qantas under Joyce has been the architect of its own demise. We need to see major investment to bring back good, secure aviation jobs and quality service standards.

Upgrades to lounges and changes to Frequent Flyer points aren't convincing anyone that Qantas has turned over a new leaf.

Qantas needs a complete paradigm shift—back towards valuing workers and the public.

“We still need cash in our society. Vulnerable members of our society rely on it. Banks must step up to keep cash going.”

“Banks have been squeezing the cash in transit industry for years. They must step up to ensure workers have certainty.”

“Banks are penny-pinching after making $32.5b in profits when they should be keeping the cash in transit industry going.” Michael Kaine

The big 4 banks have made $32.4 billion in profits in the last financial year. With the long weekend ahead of us, they can and must pay up to keep cash moving. twu.com.au/press/banks-mu…

Shocked to hear about Robert's unjust dismissal after his heroic act. He deserves applause, not punishment. Transdev needs to right this wrong. #JusticeForRobert TWU Australia International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) Michael Kaine

Robert, a QLD bus driver, bravely intervened last week to protect a young man from a violent assault and robbery.

His company sacked him.

This is appalling from Transdev and the company must reinstate him immediately.

Peter Dutton has been quoted as saying former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is 'an exemplar for standing up on issues of core policy.'

Those core policies were using legal loopholes to outsource Qantas workers across 38 different companies, and illegally sacking 1700 people.

It says it…

The only thing Alan Joyce is an exemplar of is how to destroy an iconic Australian airline.

Dutton calls Alan Joyce 'an exemplar for standing up on issues of core policy.'

Joyce headed the company responsible for the largest illegal sackings in Australian history.

Dutton will never be on the side of workers.

workers should be happy they're being exploited so Jeff Bezos can buy more spaceships

Of course there's an aviation skills shortage.

That's what happens when companies like Qantas illegally outsource thousands, and split the rest across 38 companies.

We need an independent commission that can act in workers' and travellers' interests.
