The full decision, especially chapters 7.3 & 8 are well worth reading. Does this decision open up actually amending the award as a viable path for fixing wages in our sector? 3/3 fwc.gov.au/about-us/news-…

If these principles were adopted the Commission may have decided EC teachers case last year differently 2/3

I am just skim reading the 337 page work value decision for aged care workers. It rejects the narrow approach the Fair Work Commission has taken to equal pay cases over the last decade including for EC teachers and educators. This is a profound shift in wage determination 1/3

Kristine Ziwica It is a wonderful interim outcome for the Aged Care workers of Australia! And the decision infers more pay to come. Thanks for the clap;)

A lot of union and feminist activists have worked for this tirelessly over a very long period. Thank you.

Whistleblower protections for parliamentary staff is a critical component of addressing the culture at Parliament House. Human Rights Law Centre calls on the government to implement Kate Jenkins's Set the Standard recommendation to reform the PID Act hrlc.org.au/news/2022/11/4…

This is excellent. On the eve of the passage of the Respect@Work Bill, five years since #MeToo first went viral, I will say it's important to reflect on and honour the work of many who helped get us to this point. Kate's inquiry was, as I have consistently said, 'revolutionary'.

An absolute pleasure to have ⁦Chris Wallace😷⁩ in my ears this morning on ⁦7am⁩ with her insightful analysis of the budget, its reception and the opposition’s attempts to “get up off the mat” following a devastating defeat. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/7am…

Who knew the Coalition agreed with Alicia Pearce and I that ‘human rights’ issues are in fact legitimate employment issues. Don’t know that they’ve thought this through but sure. Go hard.

These numbers are extraordinary.

We need a National picture of this data to truly get to grips with the number of deaths where #dfv may be a contributing factor.
