In November, Max Employment is ‘Gold Sponsoring’ a 2-day conference called Long Term Unemployment.
This conference costs $550 for a concession ticket.
How is the conference going to come to terms with the reality of long term unemployment when this high cost will exclude those who are actually unemployed from attending and sharing their experiences?
Instead of unemployed workers being given a chance to inform people of their experiences of long term unemployment, the organisers prefer to allow corporations like Max Employment the chance to influence policy in this area.
By continuing the long standing tradition of excluding the unemployed from having any input into policy regarding the treatment of unemployed workers, this conference will pave the way for more out of touch Government policies in this area.
To provide unemployed workers a much needed voice, the Australian Unemployed Workers Union is organising an all-day counter conference on the 9th of November entitled ‘Unemployed Workers’ Speak Out’.
This event will be held out the front of the Max Employment Sponsored conference (192 Wellington Parade) and will give unemployed workers the long overdue chance to share their experiences on the reality of unemployment in Australia.
If the policy makers do not want the unemployed at their conference, then we must come to them!
