workplace laws

The link between gender inequality and women’s experiences of violence at work needs to be broken, argues Sarah Hathway.

Mary Merkenich writes that the long-standing sexist practice of covering up bad behaviour enables it to continue.

In her first address to the National Press Club as ACTU secretary on March 29, Sally McManus repeated her earlier statement that it was right to break unjust laws.

She said Australia’s workplace laws were broken and that “wage theft” had become the new business model for too many employers. McManus also set out the ACTU’s case for a $45 a week increase in the minimum wage.
