Workers at Electrolux's Adelaide factory walked off the job today, a last resort as the company tries to short-change them. They've already twice voted down the substandard agreement that comes with restrictive conditions around when they can take leave.

Today Anthony Albanese announced a ‘Future made in Australia’

Government is stepping up to create #Manufacturing jobs in #renewable energy industries

Good unionised jobs for the #workers who have powered our economy & regions for generations

This is leadership

This bus was built in Queensland by local workers. It's the first of 200 rail replacement buses rolling off the production line as part of the Queensland Government’s investment of more than $130m to support our manufacturing industry and good local jobs.

Making things here is good for workers, industries and our communities.

'If we don't seize this moment it will pass. If we don't take this chance we won't get another.' - Anthony Albanese.

Australia has huge potential to grow clean industries that slash climate pollution & set us up for generations of prosperity. #FutureMadeInAustralia #AusPol

AMWU media release: Make the future in Australia and make it count for everyone

AMWU members have campaigned for years to rebuild local manufacturing with the industries and jobs of the future that can support our regional communities for decades to come. The Future Made in Australia Act is a pivotal step in making that happen.
