This morning amazing ASU Delegates from Vic, Tas and SA appeared before a federal Senate inquiry to talk about the impact of the unfair and undemocratic ensuring integrity bill on rank and file ASU members in their workplaces and the union Movement.
Then this afternoon we were out in force with hundreds of thousands of others across the country marching for urgent action on climate change.
What a way to top off another busy week of changing the world for ASU members. 💪💪
Tomorrow ASUVicTas members will be attending #ClimateStrike events across Victoria and Tasmania. We'll be marching and rallying in solidarity with school strikers who are taking a stand against government inaction on climate change.
For anyone in Melbourne, we'll be gathering at the ASU office at 12.45pm before joining the union contingent attending the Melbourne event. But if you are still looking for details of your nearest climate strike event you'll find details here www.schoolstrike4climate.com/sept20
Anyone marching in Traralgon tomorrow? I will be there but happy to be under union banner. 🌍🌎🌏

Save the planet save our jobs
One tv for ten years for family, one car for 15 years- show example to save planet!
The Global Climate Strikes are here!
This Friday the 20th of September, students across the globe will strike for climate justice. They've invited everyone to join them.
The ASU encourages our members to join their union officials and attend their local events to show your support.
With 95 events being run nationally there's definitely a local event being run near you.
Gonna be massive. 🙂 Workers will be the first to pay for the costs of climate change while big business continues to put profits first.
Is those same students who have mobile phones( and change them every year for new one)? , laptops, 2-3 TV at home and drinking Coke? Let start from a Law allowing 1 TV not to be replaced for 10 years per house, 1 mobile for 5 years and 1 PC for 10 years then we can talk about climate change with those people who shows by own example that they care, not under influence of propaganda and hysteria
That's just weird Sergey. www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsi...
