The rules that once made Australia fair are broken, union boss says (Brisbane Times)

The rules that once made Australia fair are “deeply broken”, according to a union boss readying to flex her organisation’s muscle in the lead up to the next state election.

Queensland unions will lobby on job creation and insecure employment in regional areas ahead of the poll – due by May 2018.

Union members will be quizzing all election candidates on their policies for investment in skills and training, support for regional communities and keeping assets in public hands.

The Queensland Council of Unions plans to develop a dedicated campaign to roll out in the lead up to the election – due by May 2018.
