We all know educators aren't valued for the important work we do.  That's why I joined my union - to play my part

United Voice WA, the union for support workers and enrolled nurses in public hospitals, is calling on the Government to act immediately on violence in our hospitals by calling for an emergency summit with frontline staff who encounter violence on a daily basis.

United Voice WA Secretary, Carolyn Smith, has said the Government needs to make this their number one priority.

United Voice WA is calling on Member for Swan, Steve Irons to explain his aggressive response to a question about penalty rate cuts.

Whilst out campaigning a member of the public politely asked the member why he had voted to cut penalty rates, which garnered an aggressive and bizarre response.

The union difference

We pride ourselves on providing the “union difference”.  Our culture and values are union and we fight for the best possible outcome for our clients. We believe in challenging injustice and fighting for workers’ rights. We understand what our clients need and the difficulties they face when seeking compensation.

Unlike other law firms, any money we make is put directly back into helping achieve better pay and conditions for workers in Western Australia.

The findings of the Banking Royal Commission told us what we knew all along.

After voting against the Royal Banking Commission 26 times, the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison Government has been caught out colluding with the big banks in the days before the announcement of the Royal Commission.

This just goes to show that the Liberal Federal Government are once again only looking out for the big end of town.

Lives have been ruined and homes have been lost and United Voice members believe that there should be real consequences for those who have done the wrong thing.

The Royal Commission only heard from 27 victims, out of the tens of thousands of people affected.

Hard working every day West Australians deserve better than a Government who puts the interests of their banker mates first – all while cutting penalty rates, cutting funding to schools and hospitals and attacking Union members.

United Voice WA members will continue to fight into the upcoming federal election to put the Liberals last and to secure a fairer Labor Government for all.

Send your message to Scott Morrison and demand he takes real action on the Banking Sector today:

We are only two weeks in and already two country health members have been back paid an accumulated total of $16,000.

How’s that for a start to the year?
