Our union has purchased a limited number of ASU facemasks for members.
They have been really popular, so popular that we’ve had to order more and they are on their way.
We will prioritise front-facing members in the distribution of the masks.
So if you want a mask, let us know here.
Workers have carried Australia through the pandemic.
We need politicians to realise that workers are the hidden heroes of this crisis, and that we will not accept cuts to working conditions.
Head to www.fortheworkers.org.au to find out more about how you can help.
This is what workers using their collective strength to protect their interests and get better outcomes looks like.
Well done to the delegates at Manningham City Council's depot who brought together members this week for an important workplace meeting.
Steve and Jason are a couple of ASU Proud delegates pictured sporting their ASU masks, hats and even an ASU KeepCup.
Thanks also to Steve B, Jason, Peter and Steve T!
Thank you to Minister for Local Government Shaun Leane MP for meeting with ASU local government delegates from across Victoria today.
It was great to hear from the minister on his plans for the portfolio, and his reflections on local government.
Delegates took the opportunity to discuss important issues with the minister, including outsourcing of in-home aged care, library funding, rate capping, bushfire recovery and enterprise bargaining in local government.
We hope Minister Leane got a better appreciation of the big issues facing local government workers in Victoria.
