People aren't required to abruptly stop talking about the subject of their posts to also remind people that other companies are shit also. That's absurd.

Then you'd feel at home at one of these rallies

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago

You were correct it turns out, but also people started showing up at like quarter to ten lol

You're working under the assumption the accusations have been substantially proven. They haven't. They simply haven't, and this witchhunt achieves nothing.

It totally is. But I don't think breaking it even more is the solution here. So that's why I'm out to march today with the CFMEU, and all the other unions in solidarity

A good day for some solidarity.

The workers voted for this leadership and are out protesting today in support of it. The democratically elected union leadership was removed and union funds are being used by the non elected administrators. None of the allegations matter in the face of the fact that the next liberal government now has the power to destroy any union in the country at will without justification.

Again, these things need to be decided in court. Parliament is not court. This legislation is antidemocratic. It is not okay for the government to get involved like this. We have separations of government power to try and prevent things like what that poem is describing.

Even if every claim is true, this is not how this is meant to happen.

I think you might be right? I'm seeing both numbers thrown around, so there's a bit of confusion I think.

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

The CFMEU is being ripped apart based on claims that the police never investigated, that never saw a court, and in such a way that suspends the rights of workers within the union. Even if the claims are all true, it's massive overreach that deals very direct damage to democracy and workers rights in this country.

Other non-CFMEU unions are also turning out in solidarity. This is about all our rights.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did speak out despite not being a trade unionist because I know the next lines.

There's a rally in support of the CFMEU today at 10:30-11, starting from the Victorian Trades Hall. You don't have to be a member of the CFMEU or any union to rock up in support (though you should join a union).

**In short: **

Six Labor MPs including assistant minister Ged Kearney want their government to change its decision not to include gender identity and sexuality in the census.

Labor frontbenchers have said the decision was made to avoid a "divisive" debate but the MPs say the government should stick to the principle in Labor's national platform.
