ACTU Congress 2018

12 Days of Action

Thousands of Australians will hit the streets to demand more secure work and fair pay. We need you to be part of it.

Change the Rules

Australian Unions are campaigning to change the rules so that working people have more secure jobs and better pay.

Volunteer to Change the Rules for working people.

The Australia we once knew, that our parents experienced, is not the reality anymore because the rules that made our country fair are broken.
