We demand:
• Wipe out the pay gap! Demand equal pay as a right for women, Indigenous people, youth and seniors, immigrants and temporary residents and people with disabilities.
• Wipe out the pay gap! Demand equal pay as a right for women, Indigenous people, youth and seniors, immigrants and temporary residents and people with disabilities.
• Fund pay equity: tax the rich, scrap handouts to big business and stop the war!
• Scrap the enforced dependency on partners and parents—an independent living wage for all!
• Victory to the community sector workers and federal public servants now — no gradual phase-in period!
• Strengthen our unions: scrap WorkChoices lite! Abolish the Australian Building and Construction Commission!
• Union democracy: the right of union members to decide the goals and priorities of their unions through full discussion and majority vote. Free speech within our unions!
• Abolish youth and disability wages: pay the full adult rate for all!
• Scrap the basics card! Fund jobs and services in Indigenous communities on award wages.
• Stop the exploitation of overseas students and temporary residents — prosecute employers who pay less than the award wage!
• For affirmative action and fully funded training programs to tackle the sex segregation of the workforce.
• End the mandatory double domestic shift: Free, 24-hour childcare! Fully funded social services! All carers to be paid a living wage!
• Solidarity with low paid and exploited workers everywhere!

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
