STRIKE FAQS

 

* Under Australia’s industrial relations laws, protected industrial action like strikes can only be taken in limited circumstances by workers who are currently in bargaining and and where their union is genuinely trying to reach agreement with the employer in question. Workers must also be a member of UWU to participate in UWU action. All UWU members will have received information from UWU if this applies you. If you’re unsure whether this applies to you, you can speak to your UWU Workplace Delegate or Organiser, or call the Member Contact Line in your state (link to https://unitedworkers.org.au/contact/#localoffices).

For ALL aged care workers and supporters

Aged care providers will receive $3.9 billion in additional funding to meet a mandated increase care hours from October 2023, and we need to make sure the funding goes where it's needed. We all know what happens when aged care providers are handed billions in taxpayers’ money and then left to govern themselves.

Make sure your voice is heard by the federal government.
