Australians voted to scrap WorkChoices at the last election. Now it’s time for new laws that give all working Australians:

  • the right to bargain collectively
  • protection from unfair dismissal  
  • the right to be represented by a union  
  • better pay and conditions  
  • the backing of a strong umpire

We need your help to remind all politicians it is time deliver Your Rights at Work.
