(1/9) Meet Ange. She is 27, she’s a mum and a cleaner. Ange is just one the countless frontline workers who have had to work throughout this pandemic keeping us all safe. She's also one of the many workers affected by the Government's dangerous IR bill. #ForTheWorkers #ausunions
(2/9) Ange loves her job, but love doesn’t pay the bills.

“Workloads increased but shift hours haven’t. No change in pay, but we pushed through. I love my job and I like to keep my clients happy. I’m worried about job security."
(3/9) "Casuals have been with an employer long enough to deserve rights. They’ve shown commitment. Why won’t employers show it back?"
(4/9) "I’m currently being let go from my full-time position due to an injury incurred in the workplace. The injury occurred from a lack of staffing. I’m so worried about what this means for my future. "
(5/9) "If I start somewhere as a casual and they keep me casual, I’m end up bunny hopping from job to job. The Government is thinking about themselves."
(6/9) "I’m looking at being forced to take my eldest child out of school because I can’t afford to keep her there."
(7/9) "My daughter was about to start an extracurricular activity and she went to her first week the week before I lost my job and I’ve just had to tell her she can’t go back. She’s devastated."
(8/9) At a time when working people are crying out for security and safety, the Government’s industrial relations bill is doing the exact opposite of what Australia needs.
(9/9) Support frontline worker like Ange - email the crossbench senators today and demand they reject the Government’s dangerous industrial relations bill: https://utm.io/uc58W
