Quotes attributable to ACTU Secretary Sally McManus

“To change the rules, we need to change the government, we will do this by talking to as many people as we can about which political parties have and which have not committed to a fair go for working people.

“We want to live in a country where people have jobs they can count on and fair pay rises.

“The Morrison Government and big business are standing in the way of secure jobs and fair pay rises, and the union movement is ready to restore the fair go.

“One conversation at a time, we’re ready to take action to change the government and win more secure jobs and fair pay rises.”
