This election is about deciding what sort of Australia we want to be. We can either lock in US-style low wages & inequality or Change the Rules.
The ACTU’s TV ads give voice to millions of working people that are experiencing insecure work & stagnant wages.
We need to change the rules so working people have jobs they can count on.
And we need to Change the Rules because Australia needs a pay rise.
The Australian Electoral Commission has just declared the results of the ASU Branch elections. We are grateful for the strong support from members and honored to have been elected to lead our union forward.
Saturday’s election of the Coalition Government means we need to be prepared for another attack on working people and only increases the need for us to stick together to fight for fairer outcomes in the workplace.
Together with the newly elected Branch Executive, we will unify behind a very clear agenda which is focused on one thing only – delivering for members.
Our commitment to you is simple: We will listen to members as we build a better and stronger union, with members at the heart of everything we do.
Working with members across all industries, we’ll build a stronger and more united ASU.
Lisa Darmanin, Branch Secretary
Billy King, Branch Executive President
Michelle Jackson, Deputy Branch Secretary
Leon Wiegard, Assistant Branch Secretary
Melissa Wainwright, Assistant Branch Secretary
Yay! Well done to all involved! Looking forward to a strong and united future for our mighty union!
Don’t thank me, I didn’t vote for you. Hope you all take note of what changes other parties wanted to bring in to assist members, particularly in regional areas. Sick of not being able to see our organiser because his area of coverage has expanded so much under the current mob
Thank God Lisa and Leon won. I worked with these two on the Metro Delegates Committee. I have total faith that they and their comrades will work to reflect the interests of members. I'm in Iran at the moment and this reaffirms my belief that workers across the must be far stronger and more focused.
Congratulations ASU United. An excellent outcome for all of us!
Well done ASU for now properly making the effort in better resourcing us members in regional Tassie.
So all challengers failed then?
It’s Library and Information Week and we’re celebrating the work of everyone in our libraries! At ASUVicTas we love libraries and support the #LibrariesChangeLives campaign because libraries offer communities a place to learn, create and belong. You can get involved in the campaign at librarieschangelives.org.au/
We’ve also got a Library Liaison Network - an active group of ASU members who meet on a regular basis to discuss all aspects of work in local authorities’ libraries. If you want to get involved in the network, contact the ASU Member Contact Centre on 1300 855 570 or info@asuvictas.com.au
Federal Election Day is here comrades!
It’s our movement’s opportunity to tell the Government what we think about their abhorrent treatment of workers, substandard leadership and selling out of community standards in Aged Care education and more.
Let them know it’s time to change the rules! Change to the government to change the rules!!
