The federal election has been called for Saturday 3 May, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for finance workers.
In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, our working rights and protections are more important than ever. But these hard-won gains will be at risk if Peter Dutton is elected.
In last night’s budget reply, Dutton has shown yet again that he prioritises big business over working Australians, with:
❌Plans to introduce legislation to increase taxes for working Australians.
❌Plans to allow first home buyers to raid their super, undermining future financial security
❌Promises of cheaper fuel for 12 months… but combined with attacks on work-from-home rights, leaving workers stuck commuting in traffic, burning through fuel savings.
On top of this, Dutton’s agenda already includes:
❌ Cutting penalty rates for finance workers
❌ Lower wages and attacks on gender equality in the workplace
❌ Stripping away protections like the right to disconnect and safeguards against wage theft.
We cannot afford a government that puts profits over people.
This election is a critical moment for finance workers. The rights and conditions we’ve fought for are all at stake. That’s why we need every union member to help ensure finance workers’ voices are heard this election.
There are many ways to get involved – no matter your level of commitment, every action helps us push for a fairer future. Here are a few things you can do right now:
Can we count on you?
We did it! It was a clear win for workers across the country…
Where do the major parties stand on the issues that affect finance workers? …
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will enshrine workers’ penalty rates into law if Labor…
