UWU condemns the Israeli Government’s blockade on humanitarian aid, including food, entering Gaza, putting more than two million Palestinians at critical risk of mass starvation. We call on the Australian Government to take immediate steps to secure peace and compliance with international law.

NEWS SO BIG WE CAME BACK TO BLUESKY: 7,000 NSW school and government cleaners are being brought back in-house. This starts with 600 cleaners from the Hunter Valley and Central Coast with additional protections for the remaining 6400 still working under contract.

Exciting news! I will be holding a Melbourne launch for my new history of the Australian union movement "No Power Greater: A History of Union Action" on Thursday 29 May, 6.30pm at Trades Hall, Carlton. RSVPs essential: lnkd.in/giZ2_Rrm

🚨 BREAKING: More than 1100 DHS disability support workers in SA have begun statewide work bans today in their fight for fair pay and secure jobs. 🧵👇 #ValueOurWork #SASupport

$50 MILLION - the amount of money Woolworths is willing to pay to ignore striking workers' call for a fair workplace. It seems they saved up a lot by squeezing their shoppers and workers over the last few years! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

These workers aren’t robots! #strike #workersrights #union #woolies @unitedworkers.org.au

Solidarity with striking woolworths DC employees who are fighting against the company adopting Amazon type tracking of their every move, underpayment through dodgy outsourcing, and dehumanising conditions. @unitedworkers.org.au www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I support Woolworths workers striking for a fair pay rise and against the company's automated performance management system. Sign the petition to show your support. @australianunions.bsky.social @unitedworkers.org.au www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/te...

So Woolworths rakes in the cash from price gouging all of us, but can't afford to give its workers a fair pay rise? Give me a break. @australianunions.bsky.social @unitedworkers.org.au

From price gouging customers to treating workers like robots - Woolworths' greed has finally hit empty shelves across three states. 1,500 of our members are showing what happens when workers stand together against exploitation & unsafe conditions. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Here's @unitedworkers.org.au member Ebony explaining the Woolworths strike www.instagram.com/reel/DC3Jtic...

What the big UWU Woolworths strike is all about. Donations link below. chuffed.org/project/1172...

Yep! Checked in my local Woolies today and lots of this. Solidarity to my fellow @unitedworkers.org.au members on strike

Hey at @woolworths.bsky.social, how’s that strike going? Shelves are looking pretty bare. @unitedworkers.org.au #ausunions

A very long-fought campaign win for @unitedworkers.org.au Early Educators! 15% on such a low wage is more of a parity than a raise, but this is still a win (and some much-needed breathing room). Tonight we celebrate, tomorrow the battle begins anew! Union Strong!

At the @unitedworkers.org.au Woolies strike site in Dandenong South, the surveillance system set up by the company is now blaring this message at random intervals: "You are trespassing! Please leave the area! This area is under video surveillance, and you have been recorded."

Cool thing you can do to support the current Woolies warehouse strike: Post photos of empty shelves, preferably also asking WW to pay their stood down workers, and give them fair working conditions. Use the hashtag #WooliesOnStrike or #WooliesStrike

"One day longer, one day stronger!" Over the weekend, workers held the line at Woolworths warehouses in both VIC & NSW. We're passing the hat around for the workers out on strike! We’ve raised $7,000 so far. If you can, please chip in: chuffed.org/project/1172...

The performance management 'framework' described in this article is dystopian. Workers at Woolworths are right to oppose it. @unitedworkers.org.au

ps let us know who we should follow on here!

Hello Bluesky! 👋 Five years ago, we formed a union to unite 150,000 workers fighting for better jobs and dignity across states and industries in Australia. Since then, we’ve led historic strikes, secured industry-wide pay rises, and more. See what we've won at www.unitedworkers.org.au/history
