Plumbers join the fight to Stop the Bus
Today the Victorian Branch of the Plumbers Union joined with the national electrical, maritime, public transport and construction unions' campaign to stop Scott Morrison's IR Omnibus Bill.
The Stop the Bus campaign will run for as long as is necessary and is asking the Senate crossbench to stand up for working Australians and vote down the proposed IR changes.
The campaign includes broadcast advertising on TV and radio, social media and digital adverts alongside traditional grassroots organising.
Plumbing and Pipe Trades Employees Union Victorian Secretary Earl Setches:
"To stop the wage cuts, Senators need to stop the bus."
"Scott Morrison is intent on bringing in laws which will allow bosses to cut wages and leave working Australians worse off."
"Casual workers who kept us going during the Covid crisis will be hung out to dry."
"We are proud to stand behind every Australian worker, and their families, by joining the campaign to stop wage cuts by stopping the bus."
The Stop the Bus campaign is a coordinated effort on behalf of some of Australia's oldest and largest unions. For more details visit www.stopthebus.com.au
