About the Campaign
Join in the community campaign to protect Australians' Rights at Work.
What is Your Rights at Work?
Your Rights at Work is a community campaign run by the ACTU. The campaign brings together the hundreds of thousands of hard working Australians who want to protect their rights and conditions in the face of a massive attack by the Coalition Government.
The campaign began in earnest in 2005 when the Howard Government revealed, for the first time, the full extent of its proposed workplace changes. The decent system of workplace laws fought for by unions for over a hundred years - fair take home pay, job security, and conditions like leave and penalty rates - are all under unprecedented attack.
It’s vital that Australians know the full extent of the Howard Government’s laws, and even more vital that, together, we fight for Rights at Work.
There is a federal election in 2007. Our best shot of getting rid of the so-called "WorkChoices" laws is by voting the Howard Government out. You can watch a video of ACTU Secretary Greg Combet launching our 2007 campaign here.
Rights at Work worth fighting - and voting - for!
How can you get involved?
- Join In to receive occasional action emails containing vital information and suggestions about important steps you can take to protect your rights at work.
- Tell your friends about the Rights at Work website and encourage them to join in too. The more employees learn about the proposed industrial relations changes, the better they can guard their pay and conditions.
- Make a donation to the Rights at Work campaign to keep our ads on air – we need your help so we can continue to tell Australians the facts about the Government’s proposals.
- Attend community events and get active locally.
