Protecting Workers’ Entitlements
Every year, thousands of Australian workers are made redundant when the company or business they work for collapses or goes into insolvency. Only then do they find out that the business had not set aside enough money to pay their rightful entitlements.
Australian employees work hard and deserve to know that their wages, superannuation and other entitlements are safe. They shouldn’t have to worry about being paid what they have already earned.
Julia Gillard and Labor have developed the Protecting Workers’ Entitlements package. This package stands in stark contrast to the Coalition, who will simply rip workers’ entitlements away.
CFMEU C&G National Secretary's Message - The Election
Tony Abbott is the most hard line right wing politician who has ever sought the support of the Australian people.
Abbott was a minister in the John Howard led Government who sat at the table as they forced WorkChoices on Australians without telling the public about the policy before the 2004 elections.
Now he is trying to con us that he has changed.
He now says he opposed WorkChoices in cabinet. Well he never said so publicly at the time. It was only after WorkChoices cost the Liberals the last election that he shared that story with the voters.
He now says WorkChoices is “dead, buried and cremated.” But in his recent book, ‘Battlelines’ he said “WorkChoices was good for workers”.
He also admitted on national television that he lies to the public when it suits him.
Not Everything I Say Is The Gospel Truth
This year’s Federal election is again a referendum on workers’ rights. The question on everybody’s mind is: Who is going to stand up for my rights?
One thing is certain - Tony Abbott and the Liberals cannot be trusted.
That's why the CFMEU in conjunction with the rest of Australia's construction unions - AMWU, ETU, Plumbers Union, AWU - have created these great Tony Abbott posters and sticker.
Poster 1: Bad Boss? Bad Luck! - I'm Tony Abbott
Poster 2: Not everything I say is the gospel truth
Sticker: Bad Boss? Bad Luck!
