As the weeks roll by the questions mount up, and so does the demand for answers.
‘What can I do? What are my rights?’
‘My provider says that I have to work 25 hours a week to keep my payments – is this true?’
‘When are you guys going to organize flash crowds outside of my local Jobactive provider?’
First, in answer to the enquires on what to do; we’re working as fast as we can to produce both an on-line version of ‘Unemployment Workers Rights’ as well as a hard copy. This document will be a complete reference guide of the rights Newstart recipients have at Employment Service Provider, Work for the Dole and at Centrelink
In conjunction, we’ve almost finished setting up a national ‘hot line’ that you can call and get advice on dealing with Jobactive providers and Centrelink, and we’re hoping to be able to provide advocacy as well. But it’s not enough.
We need YOUR HELP to carry it on and spread the word. We need volunteers to distribute ‘Unemployment Workers Rights’ outside every Jobactive provider’s office in every city, town and suburb. We want to make unemployment one of the key issues in the coming election. For all Parties, major, minor or independent.
Our ultimate goal is to get rid of this abhorrent system and the parasites who feed off it. This will take time and dedication but it can be done and we need to take the next steps NOW! We’re not asking you for money, just an hour or two of your time to hand out booklets to help the unemployed. As a union, we have no membership fees. Anyone can join, unemployed, under-employed or fully employed. Coast to coast there are 1.8 million unemployed and under employed. As individuals, there is very little that we can do to fight the system. As a collective however, we represent a powerful force for change and NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE!
JOIN US AND HELP CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
